Timber decking Finishes

Stains and oils:
These are the types of treatment which penetrates into the timber to provide a barrier against water and pests. They are easy to maintain for the average home owner although they oxidise away over time due to exposure to the weather. Accordingly the application of another coat when required is all that is needed to keep your deck looking smart for years to come. These type of coatings are perfect for around pools as they are not slippery when wet.

Exterior polishing of decks:
Exterior polishing of decks can be a fantastic way to keep that polished timber floor look flowing from inside to out. These types of coatings are very high maintenance especially if the deck has no cover, and because they are a skin coating, they can also be slippery when wet. These sorts of treatments will also require a professional to re-coat as they require sanding between coats. There are a number of other exterior finishes on the market so we are happy to advise based on your particular decking needs.

It is always best to consult a professional as to which coating will best suit your needs and environment. Call floors are us for a free home consultation and we will give you our professional opinion on which is best for you.
