Wood Stains for Any Project
by Kevin Smith AuthorWhether you’re building a new wooden fence to enhance your
property value, or building an entire log cabin because it’s your dream
retirement home, the fact of the matter is that you need to protect the wood
that you use in these projects, otherwise they will not be as durable, or last
as long as they should for the time and money spent on them. Wood fence stain
is a product that can not only enhance the color of your wood to bring out the
natural beauty, but it also protects your wood from damage or degradation.
There are many different options when it comes to wood fence
stains, and different options provide different levels of protection for each
of your wood surfaces. There are also different levels of translucence, some
providing more color, or stain, than others. Here are some of the options when
it comes to wood stain.
Translucent Wood Finish
Translucent wood finishes are typically water based
products. The good news about a water based product is that it gives you the
ability to clean the surface simply using only soap and water. It also provides
excellent UV protection from the damaging rays of the sun that could fade and
warp your wood over time. This water-based product is great for decks and
fences and provides a completely translucent finish, meaning the true color of
the wood really shines through.
Acrylic Wood Finish
What’s great about acrylic wood finish is that it gives you
a stronger, more durable finish as it uses the technology of acrylic resin to
coat your wood surfaces. This durability makes it a great finish for the
products that go through a bit more wear and tear, and need to best withstand
the elements, like wood siding and home entry doors.
Another great thing about acrylic finish is that it is water
repellent. Because of that, things like your siding will not take on water and
it helps your home maintain temperature and be free from mold or other issues
caused by water. Acrylic finish provides the same UV protection as other
stains, too
Oil Based Finish
An oil based finish, perfect for decks, is made with the
combination of oil and water molecules. That gives it strength to stand up to
many years of feet and furniture crossing the deck, while also giving it the
ease of soap and water clean up. Whatever wood fence stain
you choose, remember that it has to be right for the project at hand.
