Refresh your deck : paint or stain ?
Are you building a new wooden deck ? Do you want to rejuvenate the one you already have with a few brush strokes ? If you ’ re undecided between painting and staining , this information could help you make the right decision .
Stain Stain preserves the natural appearance of the wood , regardless of its level of opacity . Plus , you can choose from a variety of different colors . The more transparent the stain , the more pronounced the knots and wood grain patterns . If you go for a milkier option , you can hide some imperfections . Stain doesn ’ t flake , but it can change shade over time .
Paint Paint is ideal if you like bold colors . You can easily choose a hue that works perfectly with your decor . Latex paint comes in particularly rich , vibrant shades . Be aware that some paints require you to use a primer to seal the wood .
Ultimately , the choice between stain and paint comes down to a question of preference . Consider the results you hope to achieve , and then find out which techniques will help you get the best outcome from your selected product . n
