REACTIVE STAIN

Ciranova Reactive Stain is a premium, waterborne reactive wood stain designed to create authentic, aged finishes by chemically reacting with the natural tannins in wood. Ideal for achieving vintage, weathered looks on white oak, red oak and other tannin-rich woods like walnut, this stain penetrates deeply to highlight the wood's grain and texture without obscuring its natural beauty. Unlike traditional stains, it doesn't just sit on the surface—it interacts with the wood for a durable, non-fading color that evolves.

Available in 20 unique shades, from subtle neutrals like Silk 7942 NT to bold tones like Smoked Oak 1971, Reactive Stain offers endless customization. Mix it with Reactive Stain Clear to adjust intensity for lighter or more dramatic effects.

It's perfect for professional woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts, and flooring specialists seeking high-quality, sustainable results.

Always topcoat with a protective oil or varnish, such as Ciranova Hardwaxoil Magic, for enhanced durability and water resistance.

Whether you're refinishing furniture, cabinetry, or hardwood floors, Ciranova Reactive Stain delivers professional-grade aging effects that mimic years of natural patina in just one application.
