Loba splits its wood stains into two separate lines here — LOBA Stain and Lobadur ProColor Stain — each with its own colour palette and available in both a full-size bottle and a smaller 100ml pack.
LOBA Stain: Golden Oak to Classic Grey
This range covers a spread from warmer, traditional tones through to cooler greys — the LOBA Stain, Golden Oak sits at the warmer end, while LOBA Stain, Classic Grey and LOBA Stain, Dark Grey lean cooler. LOBA Stain, Country White and LOBA Stain, Nutmeg round out the range at opposite ends of the lightness scale.
Lobadur ProColor Stain: Black to Papyrus
The ProColor line takes a different colour direction, running from the near-white Lobadur ProColor Stain, Papyrus through to the deep Lobadur ProColor Stain, Black, with Kambala, White and Wenge covering the middle ground.
Full Size or 100ml: Testing Before You Commit
Most tones in both ranges are available in a 100ml pack alongside the standard 0.75L bottle, making it easier to test a shade on an offcut before buying enough to cover a full floor.
FAQs
What's the difference between LOBA Stain and Lobadur ProColor Stain?
They're two separate product lines with different colour palettes — check both ranges to see which tones suit the look you're after.
Can I mix two Loba stain colours to get a custom shade?
This isn't something to do without guidance from the manufacturer, as results can be unpredictable — check with Loba's own technical documentation if you're considering this.
Do I need to seal or lacquer over these stains?
Yes — a stain changes the wood's colour but doesn't protect it on its own. It's applied before a lacquer or oil top coat.
Will the same stain look different on oak compared with other wood species?
Yes — the same product can appear noticeably different depending on the wood's natural colour and grain, so testing on an offcut of your actual floor is worthwhile.
Is the 100ml size enough to test on a full room?
The 100ml pack is intended for testing and small touch-ups rather than covering a full room — for that, the 0.75L bottle will be needed.
