    Default Staining floorboards

    hi, we are currently in the proccess of choosing floorboard for our house. we idealy would like to get a dark brown wood however this is extremenly expensive to get. so we are now looking into staining the wood japan black however are just worried that it may look cheap. can any one tell me the pro's and con's of staining? we would like quite a dark look.

    thanks

    Get a sample of you're flooring & go to the local h.ware or paint shop & take a look at the stain options. The shop should help out by putting some of the stain on you're samples & you can see the results. If you find one you like, take it home & put a coat of clear finish (maybe the one you're going to use) & thats about it. If you're looking at black japan this gives a black finish, not exactly an authentic timber colour, so just be aware of that. I haven't used it before so wont comment.
