Options for Changing Hardwood Floor Color

Russell Chowdhury August 12, 2020 Reviews Leave a Comment
Hardwood Floor Color

When installing hardwood floors, you cannot simply leave the wood as it is in its raw form. If you do, the wood will wear down quickly. You will also end up with splinters and other issues.

Hardwood Floor Color

You need to apply something to seal the wood and ensure that it has protection from use. Most people use this as a chance to enhance the wood and bring out its natural coloring or markings.

You can stain or dye the wood to change its color and make the markings stand out better.

Dye

If you wish to alter the overall color of the wood, a dye works best. According to Hardwood Floors Magazine, dyes are generally permanent coloring that will not fade with time or due to sun exposure.

You will usually apply your dye at the beginning of the finishing process by painting it on the wood. You can get deep and rich coloring by using dye. However, some woods do not take it well, so you may want to test before applying over the whole floor.

You can use a variety of products, such as powder dye Manitowoc WI. You can also stick with natural colors or choose something more off the wall, such as pink or blue. Dye allows you to customize your wood flooring.

Stain

If you dye your wood, you will also need to apply a stain, which will lock in the dye. The dye penetrates the wood, whereas a stain sits on top, similar to paint. You also can skip the dye and only stain.

You can use a clear stain or one that will darken or lighten the wood. It will be a subtler effect than if you use dye.

Finish

Regardless of whether you choose to enhance your wood with dye or stain, you must apply a finish. This is what seals the wood. Finishes can be clear or you can get them in colors, which is nice if you won’t be adding dye or stain.

Great Looking Floors

By using dyes and stains, you can alter the look of your hardwood. A finish allows you to seal the wood so that you can get years of use from it. These options can help you to get the final look that fits your overall design while also enhancing the natural beauty of the wood and protecting it.
