Indoor wood stain FAQ

What is indoor stain?

Interior stain is a special type of paint that you use to treat and protect wooden surfaces indoors. Unlike paint, stain soaks into the wood, preserving its natural structure. It protects against scratches, dirt and moisture, and keeps your woodwork looking great for longer.

How do I apply indoor stain?

Applying indoor stain is easy, but good preparation is essential for the best results. Start by cleaning and sanding the surface to ensure good adhesion. Use a brush or roller and apply the stain evenly, in the direction of the wood grain. Remember to apply several thin coats and allow sufficient time for drying in between.

If you use a transparent stain, the natural wood structure remains visible, while an opaque stain provides full colouring of the wood.

Can you also use stain indoors?

Yes, indoor stain is specifically designed for indoor use and is perfect for treating wooden furniture, floors, window frames and other wooden surfaces within your home. While outdoor stain is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, indoor stain is aimed at protecting your wood from everyday use, such as moisture, dirt and scratches. It provides a strong protective layer without stripping the wood of its natural appearance.

Which is better, staining or oiling?

Both methods offer protection, but it depends on your preference and desired look. Stain is ideal if you want to preserve the natural colour and texture of the wood, while also providing protection from scratches and dirt.

Oils penetrate deeper into the wood, but offer less protection against wear. If you are looking for long-term protection with a visually appealing finish, stain is often the better choice, especially for indoor use.

What is the difference between indoor stain, varnish and lacquer?

Stain, varnish and lacquer are three different products for treating wood, but each has its own properties.

• Stain penetrates into the wood and preserves its natural appearance and structure.
• Varnish forms a protective layer on top of the wood, but leaves the wood structure partially visible.
• Lacquer is an opaque finish that completely covers the wood and protects it from scratches, dirt and moisture.

Transparent or opaque indoor stain?

The choice between transparent or opaque indoor stain depends on the look you want to achieve.

• Transparent stains enhance the natural wood colour and leave the wood grain clearly visible. This is ideal for surfaces where you want to preserve the natural beauty of the wood.
• In contrast, opaque stains cover the wood with a uniform colour, making the wood structure less visible. Choose opaque stain if you are looking for a modern look or if you have a type of wood you want to hide.
