If a deck is left unprotected it allows the water to soak in, causing damage through swelling and splitting. Our Decking Protector is wax enriched; making it highly waterproof which helps prevent this damage from happening. It also protects from the sun, keeping your deck looking great for longer.

How to use Decking Protector
Before you start
1. Before you start, choose a warm, dry day (above 10°C).
2. Clean your decking and remove dust, dirt, grease and oil. A stiff wire brush should be able to dislodge a lot of dirt.
3. For best results clean your deck using our Decking Cleaner & Reviver and allow it to dry thoroughly before applying the Decking Protector
Application
- Shake well and pour into a suitable container.
- Get loads of Protector on your brush or pad and apply evenly over 2 or 3 boards at a time in the direction of the grain.
- If you find that the Decking Protector has pooled in the ridges of the deck after 15 minutes then use a brush to spread these pools of Decking Protector to dryer areas.
- For maximum protection apply 2 coats. Re-coat as soon as the first coat is dry (maximum 2 hours). Be careful not to leave too long between the coats, as the second coat may be repelled by the first coat.
- Allow 24 hours after applying second coat before using your deck.
Aftercare
Cleaning
Brushes can be cleaned with water and detergent.
Keep your deck well maintained and use a wire brush to regularly clean it to remove the dirt and dust.
If you notice a build-up of any leaves, grime and mould, use a deck cleaner to remove this dirt to keep the finish of your deck looking good.
Repair
Inspect the finish of your decking on an annual basis to look for any patches or scuffs that need repairing. To fix this, all you need to do is apply another coat of the decking protector and it will look good as new.
