finishing a pine floor - advice please

[Andriy]

Hi - I want to stain and varnish a pine floor. The stain should be dark ie oak or teak with a matt finish. I wondered what would be the easiest way to do this ie stain and then varnish or does anyone know of an all-in-one product that would do the trick?

thanks
Andriy

Hi Andriy,

In my opinion the best products to use are a waterbased bound stain like Aquastain followed by a clear protective coating like Aquacoat SP or Bonakemi Resident.

Is it just for you home? If so, then 1 coat or 2 coats ofAquastain which is available in 16 Shades followed by at least 3 coats of Aquacoat SP Matt. This system will give excellent protection and a very subtle looking finish.

I hope this information is of some interest but please come back with any other questions.
