NEW TIMBER DECK COATING & MAINTENANCE
New timber decks are not cheap as you well know, so let's get the deck protection right in the first place to save money in the future.
- For most timber decks it is recommended that the decks rest for 2 to 6 weeks before any form of coating is applied
- Unfortunately over this period the deck can take on a lot of light staining from sources such as rain puddling, leaves, other acts of nature and of course human usage
- We find the best finishes are obtained by giving the deck a light sand with the Polyvac (a circular sander/polisher with a fine sanding pad).
This brings out all the natural timber colour, removes all light staining, cleans up all the splintering around screw and nail holes plus closes up the timber grain helping with water resistance
- Apply 3 coats of our favoured water base decking oil
The triple guard formula offers
- U.V. PROTECTION - Formulated with special U.V. shielding pigments to minimise the effect of the harmful rays,
highlights and protects natural the natural colour of your timber, helping prevent greying, weathering and surface degradation
- HIGH DURABILITY - The superior oil enriched formula gives a tough, long wearing finish with extended time between recoating.
Will not crack blister or peel.
- WATER REPELLENCY - The formula penetrates timber and forms a water repellent barrier. It improves resistance to mould, mildew, fungi and minimises cracking and splitting of the timber.
(note) - There are many highly effective products available for timber deck protection on the market and ultimately we will be directed by you, our client.
- Last but not least is to establish a regular maintenance programme for recoating to keep your deck forever young. (Maintenance programme will differ between products)
Note: If you do it right the first time and implement a proper maintenance programme to ensure your deck is well protected from the
elements it will save you money in the future and your deck will last a lot longer!
