The 3 Vital Steps to Having a Decking
That won’t peel and fade in 6 months time…
When your decking peels and fades within the first 6 months after a restoration… It’s because your deck restoration company has messed up one or more of these crucial steps...
1. Thorough Preparation
Did you know that if you use the wrong sandpaper you close the surface of your decking boards, and stop the oil from penetrating deep into the timber? The oil sits on the surface of your deck like a film that will eventually peel off...
Strip your deck off with a 40 grit sandpaper to remove the old coating, then hit it again with an 80 grit to smooth it off.
You should never sand your decking with anything finer than an 80 grit sandpaper.
And... one step that you need to make sure is included on your quote is a scrub and wash with a Brightener.
The brightener helps to open up the surface of your decking boards and help it to absorb the oil.
This is only 2 of the vital steps that you need to make sure are included in your quote.
2. Careful Oiling
There’s a good reason why you should steer clear of any “deck expert” who uses a Lambswool Applicator...
The Lambswool applicator lays down too much oil and will dry on the surface like a film waiting to peel off
They should be using a Decking Brush to apply your oil or stain.
When you tell me “He applied 2 thick coats of oil and it still peeled”... This is exactly why your decking peeled… He should have applied the brush on, brush off technique with a Deck Brush instead...
3. Consistent Decking Maintenance
What would happen if you had your lawn cut one time then let it be for a couple of years?
Imagine cleaning your swimming pool only once a year…
A Deck Maintenance Schedule will keep your deck looking great and also protect it from the damaging dirt and grime that builds up over time
We recomend a scrub and clean every 3 months to help protect your decking and keep it looking great, then a re-coat at 12 months.
