Q: What is a Solid Stain & What are the benefits of going with a Solid?

A: A solid stain is a stain that you’re not able to see through. This stain gives you the most protection when staining a deck or staining a fence. You can actually go with any color in the rainbow. A solid stain usually lasts between 5-8 years. This gives you complete protection from the uv rays because it reflects all the rays and they don’t damage the stain as quickly as a Transparent or Semi-Transparent Stain and last longer. One down fall to a solid stained deck or solid stained fence is that once you stain with a solid stain is you can’t see the wood grain anymore. But you still have a great product and some other great benefits.
