Types of stains and treatments

Wood varnishes

Wood varnish is a transparent timber finish made of different kinds of resins. A wood varnish will leave behind a hard sealant layer which protects the surface of the wood.

Timber stains

Timber stains contain colour pigments which bind to the wood fibres as they are applied and dried. After a timber stain is applied, it should be followed by a protective coating to combat the harsh climate in Australia.

Timber coatings

Timber coatings, which could be oil or water-based, protect wooden surfaces from the elements, and from general wear and tear.

Concrete finishes

Concrete finishes refer to the various textures and coatings that can be applied to concrete surfaces to enhance their appearance and durability, ranging from smooth and polished to patterned or textured.

Metal finishes

Metal finishes include a range of techniques and coatings that provide protection, enhance durability, and give metal surfaces a desired aesthetic appeal, from matte to high gloss.

Wood finishes

Wood finishes are treatments applied to wood surfaces to protect them from damage, enhance their natural beauty, and achieve a desired sheen or color.

The advantages of high-quality stains and treatments

A great stain will transform the look of the surface you’re staining. In Australia, there are many different hues of stain which can provide many different possible appearances. A great treatment will protect the surface you’re treating, different treatments protect from different factors, including insects, fungi, wear and tear, wet weather and more. Most stains and treatments can be layered so that you can get the benefits of multiple types all at once.

How to choose stains and treatments that are right for you

Read carefully about what the stain or treatment you’re considering will do and what kind of surface it’s intended for - stains and treatments vary greatly from natural wood stains and sealers to varnishes and carpet stains. If possible, do sample testing before purchasing a treatment or stain. If you’re applying a stain or treatment outdoors in Australia, check that it’s intended for outdoor use to ensure it endures the elements. If you don’t like your stain, lacquer stain removal is available to lift it from a surface as much as possible.
