Combined Benefits

When used together, stain and polyurethane create a two-step process that delivers both visual appeal and enhanced durability. The stain adds depth and warmth, while polyurethane seals and protects the surface, making it resistant to everyday wear, moisture, and environmental factors.

Whether you’re restoring antique furniture, refinishing hardwood floors, or adding a touch of elegance to new woodwork, stain and polyurethane are indispensable tools for achieving a professional, high-quality finish.

Stain

Polyurethane

  • Purpose:

    Polyurethane is a durable protective coating applied over stained or bare wood to shield it from damage while enhancing its appearance. It creates a tough, smooth finish that resists wear and tear.
