Whereas paint adds color or contrast to a home, wood stain creates a smooth, satiny and natural look.
For interior wood stain, a white stain works beautifully when you are working with oak and can help you achieve the modern farmhouse look. Gray and black stains are a popular choice for contemporary homes. Lastly, brown stains work well for traditional interiors. Our step-by-step guide will help you achieve a flawless finish. First, gather all the materials you will need to complete your project.
Break down the window into its primary components. This will vary based on the type of window you have, so you will need to refer to the product instructions. Remove hardware and any other detachable pieces that are on the surfaces you plan to stain. Prep the wood window surfaces by lightly sanding with the grain of the wood. Use grit or finer sandpaper and work in the direction of the grain until imperfections, rough spots or construction residue are gone.
For tight spots, use a folded piece of sandpaper and avoid touching the glass with the sandpaper. Remove all sanding dust with a tack cloth before applying the finish. Caution: do not use steel wool as the fibers might get caught in the surface of the wood and rust when exposed to moisture.
Remove sawdust, grease or caulking on the glass using a small amount of mineral spirits. Use a cloth and premixed vinegar-based cleaning solution to wash the glass, rubbing from several different directions.
If streaks remain after rubbing, rinse with clean water. We do not recommend ammonia-based cleaning products as they can cloud the glass. Avoid getting cleaning products on unfinished wood, as they may discolor it. Mask off the glass with tape and paper as well as any other areas that need to be protected from the finish before you begin treating the wood. Use a good-quality pre-stain wood conditioner to reduce the possibility of a blotchy-looking or uneven finish.
Ask your paint professional to recommend a pre-stain wood conditioner, stain and finish coat for windows and doors. For wood stains: Evenly apply your stain based on the stain manufacturer's recommendation. Multiple coats may be necessary to get your desired color.
Using a liberal coat is a quick and effective way to saturate the wood with stain. You can wipe off the excess with clean cotton rags and use a dry brush to clean stain from cracks and crevices. Avoid getting paint in the breather or weep holes on the window sash, or any other finishing products on the weather-stripping or any vinyl parts, which may compromise performance. If paint, stain or finish does get on the mohair weather-stripping, blot the weather-stripping thoroughly with a rag, allow it to dry, then flake off any residue with your fingernail.
On double-hung windows, do not paint, stain or finish the vertical sash edges the wood part that slides up and down against the frame , which may cause the sash to stick.
Failure to use a high-quality, non-blocking paint may result in a window or door that sticks shut even after the paint has dried.
Also ask your paint professional to recommend a wood primer and paint that are compatible, and if sanding is required between coats of paint. Be sure to apply one coat of a quality wood primer before applying two coats of a high-quality paint with good blocking resistance.
Finish by applying an appropriate amount of exterior-grade finishing coat, such as polyurethane based on the manufacturer's instructions.
Multiple coats may be necessary to get your desired look and performance. Grilles should be removed before finishing and sanded lightly with grit or finer finishing sandpaper. As with window frames, always sand with the grain of the wood. Before you begin finishing, determine which side of the grille will face the room. The side that slides over the brass tack will face the exterior; the longer, tapered side will face the interior. For a stained or natural finish, follow the same steps as the stained interior finish.
Whatever finish option you choose, be sure to finish the grille ends to help control potential condensation. Paint wood exterior windows immediately after installation as the factory-applied primer is not intended to last long. Follow the steps for painting as instructed above and use two coats of a quality exterior trim paint.
