THE SECRET FIXING SOLUTION FOR TIMBER DECKING

DECKING OILS/DECKING STAINS

Decking oils and stains are available which provide a relatively natural, semi-transparent, protective finish. Solvent (Oil) or water based stains are available often with mould inhibiting additives.

Decking stains with light coloured pigments are recommended as they absorb less heat and only slightly change the natural colour of the timber.

Reapplication is generally necessary every one to five years depending upon the amount of pigment included, and the degree of exposure. Ensure manufactures recommendations are followed for your chosen coating.

Note: The coating on the photos displayed is Sikkens Cetol Deck

DECKING MAINTENANCE

Frequent wetting of decks should be avoided (sweep or clean, don’t hose). Adequate ventilation should be provided to allow rapid drying after rain or watering.

Pot plants should be on trays and prevented from overflowing. Shrubs which permanently shade the deck and creepers on rails etc. should be avoided.

Reapplication of finishes will be required at regular intervals, depending on finish type and degree of exposure.

Before recoating all decks shall be thoroughly cleaned and debris removed from between boards. For some finishes, decks may also require sanding. Recoating shall be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
