Preparation for Oiling

Before applying Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil, ensure your decking is completely dry and the temperature is above 10°C.

# Untreated, Weathered Decking

For untreated decks that have greyed due to weathering, use Ronseal Decking Restorer. This product restores the natural colour of your decking, ensuring the oil adheres effectively.

# Previously Treated Decking

Clean your previously treated decking with Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver to remove dust, grease, oil, mildew, and algae. If there are any loose, peeling, or flaking patches, these must be removed to avoid uneven oil application. In cases where you're transitioning to a different colour, you will need to strip the existing treatment thoroughly with Ronseal Decking Stripper. Also, protect cut ends using Ronseal Decking End Grain Preserver.

# New Wood

New decking typically comes with some waterproofing treatment, which can hinder the adhesion of the oil. To prepare, scrub the surface with Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver, then rinse thoroughly—ideally with a pressure washer. Let your deck dry fully, checking for water beading; if water beads on the surface, further cleaning will be required.

Application Instructions

To apply the oil, shake the can vigorously for a couple of minutes. Pour the oil into an appropriate container, and dip your brush or applicator pad. Before full application, test the colour on a small, hidden section of your decking.

Starting from the furthest corner, apply the oil along the length of the boards, working on 3-4 boards at a time to prevent overlap marks. Two coats are needed, with a drying time of 4 hours between each coat. Your decking will be ready for use after 24 hours.

Aftercare

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain your decking's appearance and condition. Use a stiff brush to remove dirt, grime, and vegetation. For repairs, simply sand the damaged area and apply a coat of decking oil for full restoration.

Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil offers a robust, lasting solution that beautifies and protects your outdoor space, making it easier than ever to enjoy your decking in all seasons.
