How To Maintain The Beauty Of Your Timber Decking

Your Timber Decking Adds An Ambience & Value To Your Home, That Only Timber Can….

Time can be unkind to some timber decking but it is possible to keep the beauty and maintain the health of your deck.

Maintenance your deck is important if you want to prevent discolouration from dirt, moss, algae, etc. Which can tear apart the surface of the wood, forming splinters and  creating a rough uninviting surface, allowing further deterioration.

Give your deck a thorough cleaning once a year. It needs to be exfoliated so the protective sealers on the coating can seep deeper into the timber.

First you should check for any loose boards or protruding nails that need repair. Clear the deck and sweep thoroughly.

You can create a gentle cleaning solution from warm water and dishwashing liquid, or you could purchase a speciality timber deck cleaner. Saturate the surface of your timber decking and scrub with a stiff-bristled brush or sponge until the cleaning solution starts to lather.

Next you can choose to either paint or stain your decking. Painting can be beautiful or you can choose to keep the timber’s natural beauty with a stain or a clear finish.

Once the area is dry, you must seal your Timber Decking. The sealant can be brushed on, rolled on with a paint roller, or sprayed on. We Provide A Deck Oiling Maintenance Service That Takes The Stress Out Of Maintaining Your Deck.
