Default Finishing maple to match flooring

"Edwin Pawlowski" wrote in


The easiest way is to ask the flooring dealer. The supplier may sell
the matching stain.

If not, you buy an array of stains that are close and try them on
scrap pieces of the same wood as the registers. If the registers are
made from a different wood than the floor, there may be some color
difference anyway. There will be a difference if you use a
pre-treatment also. Ed



Theres a classic case of not reading the question properly. He said its
natural, no stain. The only thing he needs to know is whether the finish is
water base or oil, or if they used an oil sealer under water base
polyurethane.

POSTER: Call your dealer or look on the manufacters website and find out
which it is. Water base leaves maple much lighter/whiter than oil base. If
they don't offer the finish, you can then go to any hardware store and buy
most any water or oil polyurethane and they will match color. Try to get a
finish formulated for floors. Apply 4-5 coats with a $.79 brush. Its not
that difficult.
