Yes, dark continues to grow and grow and grow. I’ve been discussing dark hardwood floors for a while now. The most popular colors have been ebony, espresso (which is a 50/50 blend of ebony/jacobean), jacobean and dark walnut. We test these colors on our customers’ floors as the stains look different on different woods (and even different planks). And, please understand that many of the pictures on line looker darker than they do in real life. Lately we’ve had more requests to go darker and darker and darker. To serve this need, Duraseal has now added a darker stain than ebony…it’s called “true black.” Another solution to get the floors darker is to open up the pores with a water pop. While this step costs extra, it dramatically helps the wood absorb the stain more for a darker and super contemporary look.
