What is the EXPERT Stain & Seal Fan Deck?

The EXPERT Stain & Seal Fan Deck is a professional sales sample and marketing tool that showcases 18 different wood stain colors on real wood samples. It allows contractors and homeowners to easily compare stain options before starting a project.

How many colors are included in the fan deck?

The fan deck includes 18 stain colors, covering a full range of:

• Transparent stains
• Semi-transparent stains
• Semi-solid stains

This provides a complete view of the EXPERT stain system in one portable tool.

The 18 colors include:

Redwood, Cedar, Natural, Honey, Walnut, Sequoia, Pecan, Mahogany, Chestnut, Auburn, Barnwood, Black, Cape Cod Gray, Chocolate, Eucalyptus, Palomino, Sable, and Slate Gray.

Are these real stain samples or printed color charts?

These are actual production stains applied to natural wood samples, not printed charts. This gives a far more accurate representation of how the stain will look on real wood surfaces.

Why is a fan deck better than a color chart or online images?

A fan deck provides a true-to-life preview because it shows:

• Real stain penetration into wood
• Natural wood grain interaction
• Accurate color depth and tone

Printed charts and digital images cannot replicate how stain actually performs on wood.

Who should use the Stain & Seal Fan Deck?

This fan deck is ideal for:

• Contractors and painters
• Fence and deck builders
• Wood restoration professionals
• Homeowners choosing stain colors

It’s especially useful for anyone needing to present stain options or make confident color decisions.

How does the fan deck help sell staining projects?

The fan deck functions as a powerful sales tool by allowing you to:

• Show customers real stain results instantly
• Compare multiple colors side-by-side
• Help clients visualize their finished project

This can improve decision-making and increase project close rates.

Is the fan deck portable and easy to use on job sites?

Yes. The fan deck features a compact, traditional fan deck format, making it easy to carry to job sites, client meetings, or showrooms for quick demonstrations.

What types of wood projects is this fan deck used for?

The stain colors in the fan deck are commonly used for:

• Fences
• Decks
• Pergolas
• Siding
• Outdoor wood structures

It helps visualize how each color will enhance different wood applications before staining.

Does the fan deck show different stain opacities?

Yes. The fan deck includes colors across transparent, semi-transparent, and semi-solid stain lines, allowing you to compare different levels of coverage and finish.

Is the EXPERT Stain & Seal Fan Deck made in the USA?

Yes. The fan deck is hand-made in the USA, ensuring consistent quality and craftsmanship.

Can I test the stain on my own wood instead of using a fan deck?

Yes. While the fan deck is ideal for visualization, you can also use a Stain & Seal Sample Kit with real stain to test directly on your specific wood surface for the most accurate results.

Why should I use a stain fan deck before buying wood stain?

Using a fan deck helps you:

• Compare 18 colors instantly
• Avoid costly color mistakes
