I always recommend that we test stain colors for our customers on their own floor before committing to color. After all, the stains come out different on different floors pending on the species, grade of wood and age. Also, even within the same floor, some pieces are lighter and some are darker. Wood is a natural product, and that means there is natural variation. That is part of its beauty.
Well I finally found a good way to help visualize this idea. This is the same stain used on 4 different species of wood - red oak, maple, ash and birch. The impact is more apparent when you see it in person, but I think this slide helps get the idea across.
I just added this demonstration on one of my most popular articles on my site - Can you change the color of your hardwood floors. This is one of my best performing blog posts. It was written in 2012 and currently gets over 5,000 clicks a month. It is also one of my highest converting articles for people who call (or write to us for an appointment). I guess it's good to keep these key articles fresh, so this is my way of giving it some new content.
