Staining wood fulfils two functions: protection & beautification. Whether it's deck staining or fence staining, oil and penetrating stain saturates wood fibers to protect them from damage due to freezing water, harsh UV light, mildew and other fungi as well as foot traffic and spilled liquids. Some water-based stains sit on top of the wood surface, protecting by forming a continuous, flexible and gas-permeable membrane. The extremely wide variety of stain colours and finishes allow you or your designer to accentuate the features of your property for a classic and natural look.
Wood benefits from staining during all stages of its life. Studies have shown that mildew begins to grow on wood within 1 year of exposure (Feist & Hon, 1984). A common misconception is that wood benefits from 'breathing' for 2 years following installation. This is inaccurate, or at least exaggerated (6 weeks is sufficient). Once mildew becomes established in wood, it is hard to eradicate. It's best to prevent it's growth from the outset by using a quality stain on properly prepared surfaces. Mill glaze can be removed chemically or by sanding -- weathering is often not enough. Similarly, if your wood is already deteriorating: protect it now! Wood conditioners and brighteners, along with power washing and sanding can rejuvenate most older exposed wood, whether for deck staining or fence staining.
Your property is unique, and so is your vision - whether it's for deck staining or fence staining. Contact Ken at A1 Stain for a detailed, personal consultation at your property.

Staining saturates the top-most wood fibers with colouring agents and a 'vehicle' in which they are suspended. It is one of the oldest and simplest methods of protecting exposed wood against the elements and premature weathering. Fence staining or deck staining can produce a dramatic visual effect to enhance your property design or remain largely invisible while protecting your wood.
For deck staining or fence staining, proper preparation is key to lasting results: pressure washing, wood conditioner & brightener, proper drying, sanding and time of application are all key. A1 Stain always discusses the level of preparation with you, so you know what you're getting and can make an informed decision. Your deck, fence or pergola will thank you for years to come.
A1 Stain only uses tried & tested products that reliably produce outstanding results. Quality stains are available from fully translucent to fully solid, with a range of semi-transparent and semi-solid products in between. Oil and water-based stains have distinct uses, depending on the state of your wood and desired effect.
