In contrast, solid stains will completely mask the wood grain, while allowing the wood texture to show through, and the greater its protection will be over time. As the opacity moves towards solid, less grain shows through the finish. Translucent, Semi-Transparent, and Semi-Solid stains are designed to protect without completely obscuring the natural colour and texture of wood.
Stain opacity levels range from clear to solid, with the amount of pigment in a stain determining its opacity. High-Gloss allows rich, deep colour but magnifies surface imperfections.Semi-Gloss is more moisture resistant and easier to clean.Satin stays cleaner and stands up to abrasion better than Flat.Flat is good at hiding surface imperfections and delivers beautiful colour.
Our super-premium products offer the same durability and washability in all sheens, so the selection of the finish is more of a personal preference. Semi-Gloss sheens are particularly durable and are often recommended for mouldings and trim.Eggshell, pearl and satin sheens are light, easy to clean, work great in high traffic areas, and reveal colour with a softly polished glow.Flat or matte sheen provides great depth of colour and is ideal for less-than-perfect surfaces.When deciding on paint sheen, consider the condition of the wall and whether the area is high/low traffic.
