Better Stains & Varnishes, by Design

Our water-based, eco-friendly wood stains & varnishes were uniquely formulated without the harsh chemicals found in conventional stains & varnishes that often cause headaches, nausea, and worse. ECOS stains and varnishes are applied just like any conventional product, using a brush, cloth or sprayer. With a quick drying time, the water evaporates from the product, leaving a crystal-clear finish to show off the color and texture of the wood.

Stain Colors and Varnish Finishes

Our eco-friendly wood stains come in 22 colors, designed to draw out the natural beauty of the wood grain. The perfect complement to your wooden floors, cabinets, furniture, doors, and trim.
Enhance and protect your wood project with our durable varnishes. Our wood varnishes are the ideal top coat for interior and exterior projects and come in three different finishes - satin, semi-gloss and gloss.

What our customers are saying...

"Very high quality product. I refinish furniture. The smells of oil base have been dreadful. Then the overnight wait to top coat. This ECOS goes on milky indicating how much you are applying, then dries crystal clear. Sands beautifully after two hours. I am able to apply 3-4 coats in a day. This enables me to finish a piece in 24 hours. There is no odor whatsoever. The final product is amazing and I recommend it to anyone who is tired of the mess, smell of oil base finishes.”

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT ECOS PAINTS?

Staining and varnishing natural wood should be a pleasure, enhancing the grain with a rich color, bringing out its inner beauty and creating a finish to dazzle the eye. Unfortunately, traditional stains and varnishes typically contain harsh chemicals and have strong odors, which can cause headaches and nausea. The result, a product filled with harmful chemicals and a process that often leaves a home uninhabitable for days. In contrast, ECOS wood stains and varnishes are zero VOC, non-toxic, and no odor. Because you care about the environment, your family and home, ECOS zero VOC wood stain is the only choice for all your design and renovation needs. Easy to choose, easy to apply, and easy to live with.

Our odorless, zero VOC varnishes do not contain harmful solvents that off gas into the air. Safer for you, your family and the environment.
