STAINING, WHITEWASH & BLOCKOUT

Create a striking timber floor

What is Floor Staining:

Floor staining is the process of changing the wood’s colour. You can still see the wood grains, knots and texture despite the change. Floor staining helps preserve the colour much better, making it more resistant to damage and lasts longer.

Benefits of Floor Staining:

Floor staining gives you the option to customise your floors with a wide range of stain colours. Along with providing a fresh, clean look for your floors, floor staining can offer dramatic effects that:

Protects from sunlight:
Constant exposure to sunlight and excessive heat can damage the floors like dis-colouration, cracks and separations between boards.
Preserves natural beauty:
Staining doesn’t peel or flake like acrylic paint, it is easy to maintain and lasts long.
Prevents rot:
Many factors can cause rot, such as mould, fungi and termites. Sealing your floors with stain preserves its beauty and structural integrity. Staining can give your floors the resistance to moisture and other environmental agents such as bacteria and insects.

Whitewash

Whitewash is when a white stain or white tinted sealer is applied to the floor to lighten it without covering the grain or causing your floor to look pale. It can also help in hiding any imperfections in old wood flooring and also has the potential to make smaller rooms and spaces appear a lot larger than they actually are.

Blockout

Blockout is a solid paint colour and just as it sounds, you can’t see the wood grains below, but you can still see the texture of the wood. Blockout floors set a solid foundation to a room, giving you a strong base to design your room with some flair.
