Product Information

Full details

The Furniture Clinic Wood Floor Stain in Grey is designed for homeowners and professional restorers looking to revitalize new or reclaimed timber flooring while preserving the natural wood grain. This highly concentrated, water-based formula offers efficient coverage and rapid drying times, making it ideal for large surface areas. While it provides a professional-grade matt finish, users must note that it requires a separate sealer—such as wax, oil, or lacquer—to ensure long-term durability and protection against foot traffic.

FAQs

Does this stain protect the floor on its own?

No, this is a colouring agent. You must apply a sealer such as wax, oil, or lacquer over the stain once it is dry.

Can I use this on outdoor decking?

This product is designed for indoor timber flooring. For outdoor use, ensure you check for products specifically rated for exterior weather resistance.

How long do I need to wait before walking on the floor?

While it is dry to the touch in 10 minutes, you should wait until the final top coat (sealer) has fully cured according to the sealer's instructions before allowing foot traffic.

Is it safe for pets and children?

The product is low-VOC and low-odour, making it safer than solvent-based alternatives. However, ensure the room is well-ventilated during application and drying.

Can I apply this over an existing varnish?

No. You must sand off any existing varnish or finish to expose the bare wood so the stain can properly penetrate the grain.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or blotchiness

Usually caused by inconsistent sanding. Ensure the wood is sanded uniformly before application and apply the stain using long, consistent strokes.

Stain is too light

Apply an additional coat once the first layer has fully dried to deepen the intensity of the Grey pigment.

Difficulty spreading evenly

Ensure the floor is clean and dry. Use a larger applicator pad for larger floor areas to maintain a 'wet edge' while working.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers a large area of up to 32m2
  • Extremely fast drying time of 10 minutes
  • Environmentally friendly with low VOC levels
  • Maintains visibility of the natural wood grain
  • Easy cleanup using only warm water

Cons

  • Requires an additional top coat sealer for protection
  • Not intended for use as a standalone protective finish
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure even absorption

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the stain, ensure the floor is sanded down to remove previous finishes and that all dust and debris have been vacuumed away. Proper surface preparation is the most important step for uniform colour absorption.

  • Compatibility: Safe for all timber types including hardwood and softwood.
  • Application: Can be applied using a synthetic brush, sponge, or dedicated floor applicator kit.
  • Care: Post-application, maintain the floor using products compatible with your chosen top-coat sealer (wax, oil, or lacquer). Keep the original container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
