Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil Dark Oak 2.5L

Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil is designed to offer superior, natural-looking protection for your decking, ensuring a longer-lasting finish. This innovative oil features a unique formula that penetrates deeper into the wood, significantly enhancing its durability. With a lightly tinted finish, it provides twice the weather resistance and foot traffic protection compared to standard decking oils, making it a reliable choice for outdoor areas.

One of the standout features of Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil is its water-based Linseed Oil technology. This cutting-edge formula colors and waterproofs your deck in one straightforward step, allowing for a more natural appearance. The oil becomes rainproof in just 90 minutes, and you can recoat it after four hours, offering convenience without sacrificing quality. It is primarily intended for application on pre-treated decking.

Preparation for Use

To achieve optimal results, proper preparation of your decking is essential depending on its condition:

- Untreated, Weathered Decking: For untreated grey and weathered wood, start with Ronseal Decking Restorer. This product will help restore the wood's natural colour and create a solid base, ensuring that the oil can penetrate effectively.

- Previously Finished Decking: If your decking has been finished in the past, first use Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver to eliminate dust, grease, oil, mildew, algae, and other contaminants. Remove any loose or peeling coatings to avoid patchiness. In cases where you are using a contrasting colour, it is crucial to strip all previous finishes using Ronseal Decking Stripper. Additionally, protect cut ends with Ronseal Decking End Grain Preserver.

- New Wood: New decking should be allowed to weather naturally for about six months to ensure that any pre-treatment has eroded, allowing the stain to penetrate and adhere properly. Clean the new deck with Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver using a scrubbing brush, and thoroughly rinse with clean water (ideally using a pressure washer). Allow it to dry completely before applying the oil. Test the effectiveness of your cleaning by splashing water on the deck; if beading occurs, re-clean and retest before oil application.

Application and Performance

Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil lasts twice as long as standard decking oils, effectively protecting against scuffs and scratches, while also restoring essential wood oils lost due to weather exposure. It prevents wood from greying and splitting, ensuring your decking remains in excellent condition for years to come.

Whether you’re updating your existing decking or treating new wood, Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil is an ideal solution for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your outdoor space.
