More About This Collection Transparent Stain

Transparent wood stains for decks, siding and hardwood. The tint is light, so the grain stays visible, in tones such as redwood, cedar, natural, mahogany and honey teak.

Most are oil-based penetrating stains or timber oils, and one is a waterborne translucent. Sizes include half pints and 5 gallons. Penofin also lists hardwood stains for IPE. Brands include Cabot, Penofin, Valspar and Proluxe.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
