Here’s the answer to your desire to match moldings, stair parts, woodwork, cabinets, etc. to the color of your Somerset floor.
Somerset has a program with PPG Industries to make available through their network of Pittsburgh Paint Trade Stores, color-matched stains for each of Somerset's stain colors.
To locate a Pittsburgh Paint Dealer, you must do one of the following:
-
Check the Yellow Pages or call toll-free 1-888-774-1010 for the nearest PPG store that handles PPG’s Architectural Finishes. You will reach an automated answering system. Push 4 for dealer locations. After the prompt, push 3 for Pittsburgh Paints. If necessary, use the prompt to reach a “live" person who will ask for your location and zip code. You will be given store names in your area.
-
Go to www.pittsburghpaints.com.
Select Pittsburgh Paints, enter your zip code in "Find Location" and hit "Go."
It is recommended that you call the store and give them the manufacturer name of Somerset Hardwood Flooring, and the color name needed (i.e. “Golden") so they can verify that they have the necessary base materials. They will also be able to supply the sealer and topcoat compatible with the stain.

Note: The beauty of wood is that it is a natural product, therefore no two pieces match and different pieces take stain differently. In working with Pittsburgh Paints to provide stain formulas, our goal is to meet customer requests and needs for obtaining stains that will blend with Somerset flooring colors. Neither Pittsburgh Paints nor Somerset Hardwood Flooring is responsible for final finished colors, since the stains may be applied to different wood substrates, and we have no control over the application methods or results. Somerset Hardwood Flooring cannot be responsible for any work that occurs outside our factory.
