Choose how much wood grain to show.
Compare clear, translucent and more opaque finishes. Check which type suits your wood and where it will be used.
Explore ↓How much grain would you like to see?
Compare the three illustrative samples, then choose an appearance for more guidance.
Translucent / natural
More wood grain and natural variation remain visible. The wood species has a strong influence on the final colour.
For stained cabinets, explore SamaN or Sansin Purity interior finishes. Confirm the complete stain and protective topcoat system.
Opacity and sheen are different
Opacity describes how much of the underlying wood shows through. Sheen describes reflection. Compare both when choosing a finish.
The wood is part of the colour
Species, sanding, previous coatings and coat count change the result. Compare the actual finish on a discreet area of the same wood.
Keep the wood. Plan the finish.
Bring your colour direction, wood surface and preparation together before choosing a complete exterior or interior finish system.
