Wood stain colours

Teak colour

Teak is a hugely popular wood species. From garden furniture to terraces... You will find this tropical wood species in many a garden. So you will not be surprised to find many products in the colour teak. 

You can order both oil and stain in teak colour.

White wash stain

Not quite a wood colour, but subtle and extremely popular: white wash. Especially with furniture made of pallet wood, you sometimes see this trendy finish. 

The semi-transparent oil or paint gives your wood a kind of white haze. But it will still look like wood. And, of course, you have all the benefits of wood protection with it too!

Colourless stain

We get a lot of demand for colourless stains. You might think about that if you don't want to change the colour of your wood, but want to protect it. 

If you ask us that question, we do recommend something else. To protect your wood properly, you need a coloured stain. The pigments that provide the colour also make the stain strong(er). And colourless stain does not contain any pigments. 

But don't worry! As we mentioned earlier, you can find the most common wood colours ready-mixed. Thge colour Light Oak, for example, looks very natural in many cases. Otherwise, with many stains, such as Sigma WoodProtect or Sikkens Cetol, you can also choose a mixed colour.

Black stain

Black stain has already become almost a classic for outdoors. Many people stain their fence black, for example. Garden sheds, garden furniture or other garden wood, such as beams, can also be found stained black.

Matt black stain is the most common choice in this regard. But other dark stains are also often chosen for exterior wood. Think anthracite or dark grey, dark brown or dark green.

Grey stain

Apart from dark grey stain, light grey stain is also a popular option. Staining your wood in grey creates a natural yet modern look. 

By the way, grey is not only chosen as an opaque colour. A 'greyed effect' is also an emerging trend. In this case, you use a semi-opaque stain (a bit in between full opaque and transparent) to mimic the look of natural greying wood.

White stain

White stain is also still very often chosen. As a transparent white stain (white wash, see above) but also in an opaque finish. For windows and doors, for example, if you don't want to lacquer them.

Not only does white give your wood a fresh look, it also has other benefits. Whereas dark colours absorb the sun's heat more quickly, white stained wood reflects the sun's rays back. Ideal for hot summer days.
