For a finish that goes beyond the traditional, a metallic wood stain offers a striking and contemporary alternative. Unlike opaque paints that hide the wood's character, a metallic stain is crafted to accentuate it, infusing the grain with a stunning metallic lustre. This allows you to transform the colour of your timber while adding a layer of sophisticated shimmer, creating a deep, radiant, and modern effect. We offer a palette of professional-grade metallic wood stain colours to bring your most creative visions to life.
Whether you are a furniture restorer aiming to give a classic piece an industrial-chic update or a homeowner looking to make a bold statement with a silver-toned interior door, our range of high-quality metallic stains delivers consistent and beautiful results.
Discover the Perfect Shades of Metallic Wood Stain
Choosing the right metallic shade is the most exciting part of any creative staining project. Our collection of metallic wood stains has been curated to include a variety of rich, contemporary tones, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your unique style.
When selecting a metallic stain, remember that the final look will be influenced by the wood's natural colour and how absorbent it is. A copper stain, for instance, may appear differently on light ash compared to a darker oak. We always recommend testing your chosen stain on a spare piece of the same timber to ensure you are delighted with the outcome.
Our popular shades of metallic stain for wood include:
-
Warm Metallics:
Copper, Bronze, and Rust for a rich, warm, and industrial feel. -
Cool Metallics:
A spectrum of cool-toned shades including Silver, Steel, Iron, and Aluminium for a sleek, contemporary, or dramatic statement.
By applying multiple coats, you can achieve a deeper and more intense metallic effect, giving you complete control over the final appearance.
A Stain for Shimmer, A Lacquer for Protection
It is essential to understand the role of a metallic wood stain. Its main purpose is to provide vibrant, metallic colour. While it penetrates the wood fibres, it offers minimal protection against moisture, scratches, or UV damage. To ensure your beautifully stained wood endures, you must seal it with a durable clear topcoat.
After staining, the surface should be protected with a hard-wearing clear finish, such as a wood lacquer or a durable wood oil. This protective layer will lock in the metallic colour and provide the resilience needed to withstand daily use, keeping your project looking stunning for years to come.
