 Drying Time

Touch dry in approximately 2-3 hours. However, the Driftwood colours will take a little longer, approximately 4 hours - overnight if possible.  

Please note: this is an approximate drying time. There could be a number of factors that may affect this. 

Coverage

Approx. coverage of 10-12m² per litre, for one liberal coat.

Developed using decades of experience and expert knowledge Littlefair's bring you a unique Water Based Interior Floor Stain for use on new or re-sanded floorboards. 

Our Light Stripped Pine floor stain will create that beautiful 'old stripped pine' look for your project, whilst English Walnut, Fumed Oak, Anglian Oak, Gilded Oak, Modern Oak and Sienna Mahogany floor stain will create a beautiful, authentic hardwood colour and Mellowed Pine will create a beautiful, old dark pine look. 

Driftwood Grey and Driftwood Brown can be used on smooth planed, rough sawn or pressure treated timber, both indoors and on external wood.  The more textured or grainy the surface, the greater the effect.

Looking for black or white? Our African Ebony floor stain can be applied as a light wash or easily build up to a dense blackness with further coats whilst Seawashed White can be applied as a light wash or easily build up to a strong 'chalky' white with further coats. 

Our Water Based Floor stain is quick drying and lightfast.  Due to it being water based your brush will be very easy to clean and with very low VOCs there will be hardly any odour.

Should you wish to create a more 'modern' look, try using our Water Based Floor Stain Pre-Conditioner before applying our stain.  This will create a clearer and lighter finish.  Please note, the Pre-Conditioner is best used with our traditional colours - we wouldn't recommend using it with African Ebony, Seawashed White, Driftwood Grey or Driftwood Brown.

To help you achieve the perfect finish you're looking for we offer 15ml Tester Pots of all our 12 floor stain colours.

Colour Reproduction

Please note that the example images shown here have been finished with our Water Based Floor Fast Satin Varnish.

We endeavour to reproduce our colours and finishes as accurately as possible - both online and in print. However there are a range of factors to consider when comparing our samples to your chosen project: the type and condition of the surface itself may produce a slightly different appearance of the finished colour. Please bear in mind the shape, size and lighting conditions.

Please note: Our Water Based Wood Stains have a matt appearance when dry and come to life when finished with Littlefair’s Wood Finishing Products. We recommend finishing your project to provide the stained wood with extra protection.

We do not recommend finishing African Ebony with matt varnish as this can create a cloudy appearance.

Wood stain products are very effective

The colours were very natural looking, easy to apply and fast drying, however, the best colour match for me was a floor stain, only available to buy in large quantities starting at 2.5ltr. I couldn’t justify the cost for such a small job. It would be helpful if all stain products could be purchased in smaller tins, ideally starting at 500ml.

Good Coverage

Nice to work with. I used about 1/3 of a 2.5l bottle for two coats of a 8m2 room. The only frustraiton was delivery was quick for the sample (2 days) but slow for the actual product (4 days)

Africa Ebony and Autumnal trail

We have used Littlefairs stain before when we made a barn door. For the study we used the Africa Ebony and Autumnal trail and it came out beautiful.

Preparation

Application

Completion

It’s important to note that the final appearance will be a combination of the natural colour of your wood, the effect of the stain and the finishing product if used. With this in mind - always produce a test piece so you can properly judge the result.
