Through Varnish: The floorboards were stripped of old, peeling through varnish and lightly sanded. A ready-tinted through varnish, that gives the impression of whitewash, was then painted over the boards. In a hallway, a space that sees lots of traffic, it's a good idea to choose a quick drying through varnish, so the Floor isn't out of bounds for too long at a time. On the stairs, carpet has been laid, which helps deaden noise when people walk up and down.
The final finish may be of a type that gives a surface film, such as French polish, through varnish, or polyurethane. The latter two are available in gloss, satin, and matte finishes. through varnish stains are also available. These are convenient, since they will color and finish the wood in a single operation.
Do bear in mind that each extra coat of through varnish stain will darken the color of the wood and, unless brushed out very evenly, the color will vary with the thickness of the film. When wood is stained with a penetrating dye, the color will not vary - no matter how many coats of clear finish you later apply.See Also The Kitchen Is One:The kitchen is one of the most-used rooms in any household.
