Did you know that a wood stain product is not used for building a protective layer on your wood floor? Wood stain products are what they say they are; they stain the floor a colour. Whether you are choosing a darker or a lighter colour, a wood stain will achieve this. However, it is important that your wood flooring is protected. There is no point investing in the process of sanding and restoring your wooden floors to then leave them unprotected.
Therefore, it is important to identify a wood finish product that will protect against wear, tear and use of your floor. This particular wood restoration project required a wood stain with a lacquer to offer the desired finish.

The finished floor should look even throughout (as if the boards had always been in situ).

It can mean the difference between a successful floor sanding project and an unsuccessful one. Yet alone the possibility that damage could easily be caused to your floor sanding machines.
