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.

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.

Driftwood grey floor stain

Very happy with this product would definitely recommend and buy again

good range of colours

very easy to use

Beautiful finish

Beautiful result. I wasn’t sure having done a test with the sample but I think that was my inexpert application ; the stairs were treated by a our decorator and the wood looks amazing, really warm

Water based dye

Tried a couple of different brands but this was the clear favourite.
Really easy to apply but sample was very small for the test area, so had to purchase two. Almost the same price as a standard size.

Sample pot

This enabled me to get a near enough match to blend an old floor sanded to a new floor

samples did not arrived

samples did not arrived because the shop did not pay stamp fees. had to order model oak without sample, contractors mixed it with water as it was very dark colour (its my personal opinion about colour).

Excellent company

Wonderful wood dyes. Really easy to use and a beautiful finish.

great service and great choice

I ordered 2 wood dyes, The delivery was surprisingly fast. As yet I'm still undecided which to use but both are lovely. I'd recommend the Company as they have plenty of choice

A range of Interior Water Based Wood Stains suitable for hand, spray or dip application

Ideal for use new or re-sanded floorboards

Preparation

Careful and thorough preparation will result in a far superior finish. Prepare a test piece or use an inconspicuous area of your floor in order to judge the final result.

Application

Our Water Based Floor Stains can be applied with a good quality brush, applicator pad, roller or spray. Aim to apply the Stains as quickly as possible to one or two boards at a time along their entire length. If you are working on a larger floor, consider having a second person apply the stain with you. They could start the next board when you are approximately half way. This should help you maintain a 'wet edge' and avoid overlapping.

Our products come complete with easy to follow yet comprehensive instructions to guide you through every step, including preparing the wood. Should you require any further help please feel free to get in touch for expert advice.

Completion

Our Floor Stain can then be completed by applying our quick drying Water Based Floor Fast Varnish for a very tough, hard-wearing finish. The stain will appear very dull when dry but will 'come to life' with colour and grain when finished with the varnish.

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.
