Wood Stains
Our wood stains enhance natural grain while providing UV protection. Available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors, these stains resist fading and weathering. Ideal for decks, fences, and siding in harsh climates, they combine aesthetic appeal with long-term durability for residential and commercial projects.
Clear Finishes
UV-resistant clear finishes protect wood while maintaining its natural appearance. These low-VOC formulas resist yellowing and cracking. Perfect for interior woodwork and exterior applications, they form a durable barrier against moisture and wear while preserving the wood's original texture and grain patterns.
Two-Step Systems
Our recommended two-step system combines stain and clear top coat for maximum protection. This approach simplifies maintenance by allowing easy clear coat renewal without color matching. It extends finish life while maintaining consistent appearance across different weather-exposed areas of wood surfaces.
Commercial Coatings
Specialized coatings for large-scale commercial projects offer industrial-grade durability. These formulations withstand heavy use in restaurants, offices, and retail spaces. Designed for prefinishing systems and high-traffic areas, they provide consistent results while meeting commercial building standards for safety and longevity.
Deck Treatments
Deck-specific treatments protect against foot traffic, weather, and UV exposure. These water-borne formulas resist peeling and cracking while maintaining wood flexibility. Available in various finishes, they enhance deck aesthetics while requiring minimal maintenance through easy clean-up and targeted reapplication processes.
Questions
What is the best stain for wood?
The best stain depends on your project. For exterior wood, darker stains offer more UV protection. Interior applications work best with clear or low-VOC finishes that highlight natural grain patterns.
Why do we need wood stains?
Wood stains protect against moisture, mold, and sun damage while enhancing natural beauty. They extend the lifespan of decks, siding, and interior woodwork by creating protective barriers against environmental factors.
What is the difference between wood stain vs finish?
Stain colors and highlights wood grain while a finish like a clear coat seals and protects the surface. We recommend using both together for optimal protection and aesthetic results.
What is the best brand for wood stain?
CBR Products is trusted across Canada and the U.S. for high-performance, eco-friendly wood stains. Our formulas, developed for harsh climates, deliver long-lasting color and protection for residential and commercial applications.
What is the best color of wood stain?
Darker tones offer superior UV protection and longer maintenance cycles. Lighter colors showcase natural grain but require more frequent upkeep. Consider both aesthetic preferences and functional requirements when selecting stain colors.

I recently refinished my English Oak kitchen table and stained it with two coats of the Broda PRO-TEK-TOR SLT #240 Burnt Wood and top coated it with the two coats of Pro-Thane Ultra Rich Floor & Stair gloss and final top coat in satin. Looks stunning and is an environmentally responsible product with very low VOCs so I was able to apply coatings in the kitchen without the strong odour of a typical or similar product. Thanks again to the crew at Broda for helping me out with this project.

Excellent products, including non-toxic deck and fence stain formulated for realistic application in Vancouver weather conditions. Can vouch for their custom colour service as well.

The guys at CBR were awesome to deal with. I was nervous as this was the first deck I've stained. It was super easy to use and looks awesome. The guy in the back was super fast getting me my order. Thanks Ken.

We use the log and timber sealer on all our fir, cedar and pine and it works amazing. The consistency is unlike any other product we have tried, its super easy to apply and coats well. Eliminates waste as the slabs dont split or check at the ends anymore. Thanks CBR and keep up the great work.

Thank you CBR products! Im using a black stain from CBR Products to refinish old cedar siding on my house and so happy with the result. The product is very water repellent
