What is Stain Used For?
Stain is a type of product which is commonly used to add a pigment or color to wood. It generally offers a degree of moisture protection as well and will help prevent wood from rotting. Stains come in a variety of colors and styles with varying degrees of moisture protection.
A light brown is the most common color found with wood stains. A redwood colored stain is also a very popular choice. Wood stains are used quite frequently to finish a treated wood which was used for the purpose of building a deck or to add an extra layer of protection and color to wood siding, which are thin panels of wood used as an alternative to stucco or vinyl siding.
