Custom Hardwood Floor Staining in Victoria, BC
Looking to change the colour of your hardwood floors? Excel Hardwood Floors offers custom stain colouring in Victoria, BC, to help you find a look that suits your home while bringing out the character of the wood.
The wood species and its condition affect how stain will look. We’ll assess your floor, discuss what’s achievable, and help you choose a colour before refinishing begins.
A custom colour for your hardwood floor
Staining changes the natural colour of hardwood. It can refresh the look of a room, complement other finishes, or give an existing floor a deeper tone. Excel Hardwood Floors offers a range of stain colours and works with you to find an option that fits your design goals.
The final result depends on the type of wood and how it absorbs stain. Oak generally accepts stain well, making it a good choice for achieving a more uniform colour. With oak floors, we can explore a range of options, including darker tones.
Staining fir and maple floors
Fir and maple have varying densities and irregular pores, so stain can absorb unevenly. This may create a marbled or rustic appearance rather than a consistent colour.
If you’re considering staining fir or maple, we’ll explain how the wood may respond and help set realistic expectations before moving ahead.
Stain selection is part of the refinishing process
Custom stain colouring is completed as part of a floor refinishing project. The floor needs to be properly sanded and prepared before stain is applied. The chosen finish over the stain also affects the final appearance. Oil-based finish over a stain highlights the grain and gives the floors a warm, rich appearance. Water-based finishes have a cooler effect and slate appearance with more sheen options to choose from. We’ll help you consider the combination that works best for your floor and the look you want.
