Wood is the most commonly used material in home construction. While natural wood offers rich, authentic grains, it will lose its luster over time if you don't treat it properly with a high-quality stain for protection and longevity.

When tackling any DIY wood stain project, you need to understand what happens to wood when you stain it. Our team of experts at The Painted Horse is pleased to discuss this process and introduce our favorite new Benjamin Moore stain, Woodluxe® Exterior—precisely what you need for a professional outcome.

Staining Wood: Understanding the Process and Its Benefits

When you stain wood, the stain penetrates the wood's surface with tint, enhancing the color of the wood to accentuate its natural grains. It's common for people to interchange staining with finishing and sealing, but that needs to be corrected. Finishes and sealants do not apply color to the wood; instead, they use an additional layer of protection that locks the color of the stain in.

Staining wood has many benefits, including:

• Enhances the color and sheen
• Protects from the elements such as insects, moisture, decay, and mold
• Expands the life of the wood
• Waterproofs the wood
• Prevents splintering and cracking
