Choosing a Stain Color for Your Hardwood Floors


As soon as You've decided to have the flooring experts at Colindale Floor Sanding Install hardwood flooring in your house, next comes this hard question: what color do you choose for the blot? It is normal to feel a little tension in making this choice, considering the investment and long-lasting character of hardwood flooring. But with a couple considerations, you'll choose the right colour in no time.

Things to Consider

Your room/home's style: Pick a stain color that enhances your home's decor. If your style is more contemporary, a warm, red tone might not be the best option. In the same way, traditional rustic decoration might not quite flow with a grayer color. We can help you understand how different tones can complement or clash with your house's style.

The kind of hardwood: Wood is a porous, live substance. Based upon the wood's grain and pore dimensions, the stain may absorb differently. Throughout our very first on-site consultation in your house, we can advise you on the best stain for your floors. We are going to show different blot samples in your floors, not on samples, as your floors may react differently than the sample wood.

Maintenance levels: Lighter stains are easier to maintain because scratches, dents, dog hair, dirt, and dust don't show up to now. These lighter stains also show off the wood's grain pattern. This may be great or not-so great, based on the amount of imperfections in the wood. Darker stains will conceal many imperfections in your timber, but might require you to wash the floors more frequently.

We Will Find Your Perfect Stain Colour

While colour swatches and color graphs may provide you an overall idea of the colour, nothing could compare to watching the true color in your flooring. We'll sand, homework, and blot a little part of your flooring. We are going to repeat the procedure till you discover a colour you're happy with. Generally, it just takes two or even three trials before we locate the perfect blot for you.
