Interior Stains & Clears

Interior stains and clear finishes for log walls, tongue and groove, and exposed timbers.

Interior wood has an easier life than exterior. No sun, no rain, no freeze and thaw. The choice comes down to the look you want and how much wear the surface takes.

Stay within one system where you can. If the surface already has a finish on it, match that finish or plan to take it back to bare wood first. Film vs. penetrating stains explains what that means in practice.
