IMPORTANT: Use Wet Samples to choose stain color.
Before purchasing stain, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND testing wet samples of the stain on your home in the color or colors that you are considering—for the following reasons:
- Stain color on your computer will look different on your home.
- The appearance of a stain color is affected by the wood being stained—due to factors such as wood species, texture, and porosity.
- Wet samples of stain are available at no or low cost.
- Choosing your stain color by first testing wet samples to know how it will really look on your home will ensure that you get the color that is just right for your home.
- Pre-purchase testing of Wet Samples is especially important for Lifeline Accents since purchases of Lifeline Accents are not returnable because they are tinted at the customer’s request.
