Exterior Stain in San Antonio
Stain vs Paint
Using a wood stain is different from using paint products. While paint products coat the surface of the wood, stains penetrate the wood itself. Since they don’t cover the wood, you can still see the natural wood grains and patterns present in your wood surface. Stains are available in a variety of opacities, depending on how much of the natural wood surface you want to show through. Both stains and paints can protect your wood surface from UV rays, water, and mildew. Each will require periodic recoating to provide continued protection to your surfaces.
