Understanding the Influence of Light on the Appearance of Floor Stains
At Plancher Deluxe, a specialist in floor sanding and staining in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the South and North Shores, we understand that light plays a crucial role in how the color of floor stains is perceived. Light, whether natural or artificial, can significantly alter the appearance of the stain. Here is an in-depth guide to understanding and anticipating this impact.
The Effect of Natural Light
- Variations Throughout the Day: Natural light changes throughout the day, affecting the shade and intensity of your floor's stain color.
- Room Orientation: South-facing rooms receive more intense light, which can lighten shades, while north-facing rooms have softer light.
Impact of Artificial Lighting
- Types of Lighting: LED, halogen, or incandescent bulbs emit different shades of light, thus influencing the perception of the stain color.
- Color and Intensity: The color of the light (warm or cool) and its intensity can change the appearance of the stain once applied.
