Wood Stain Transparency Guide
Clear Wood Finishes
Clear wood finishes & wood stains allow your wood to weather and gray naturally. Least protection, most woodgrain.
Transparent / Toner
Transparent wood stains add a slight hint of color that highlights the wood grain. Less protection, more woodgrain.
Semi-Transparent Stain
Semi-transparent wood stains provide rich color that allows wood grain and texture to show. More protection, less woodgrain.
Semi-Solid Stain
Semi-solid stains give the same rich color as semi-transparent, but hides more wood grain. More protection, least woodgrain.
Solid Color Stain
Solid Color Stain covers the woodgrain and accentuates the natural texture. Most protection, no woodgrain.
