Why Stain?
Staining doesn’t just make your railings look good—it shields them from moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear. It’s like giving your wood a suit of armor that also looks stylish!
Picking the Perfect Stain
From transparent to solid, stains come in all flavors. Want to let the wood grain pop? Go with a transparent or semi-transparent stain. Looking for more coverage? A solid stain hides imperfections and adds bold character.
Prep Like a Pro
Before you break out the stain, make sure your railings are prepped. A quick clean and light sanding go a long way. And don’t skip the test patch! It’s the easiest way to make sure you love the color before committing.
Apply Like a Master
Stain with the grain, folks! Thin, even coats are the secret to a smooth, professional finish. Whether you use a brush, roller, or sprayer, patience is key—let each coat dry completely before adding another.
Final Touches
Staining railings isn’t just about protection; it’s about adding personality to your space. Whether you want rustic charm or a modern vibe, the right stain can transform your home.
