To Paint Or To Stain

Wood has been around for thousands of years. It has been used by our ancestors to build their homes and to furnish it. We still use wood to build our homes and to furnish it as well. That’s why you see wooden houses and furniture wherever you go.

The problem with wood is that unless it has aged for some time, it is highly susceptible to the elements. This is especially true of wood that is outside such as those in your deck or that garden furniture that you have. Even indoor furniture that is made out of wood will eventually look worn if left unprotected.

In order to protect the wood you have two options. The first option is to paint the wooden parts. The second option is to stain them instead. While both have similarities they also function in quite different ways.
