Preparation for Application

Before using the Ultimate Protection Decking Stain, it’s crucial to ensure that your decking is clean and free from dirt, oil, grease, wax, and silicone. Take the time to scrub off any algae, moss, or mildew and let the decking dry thoroughly.

• For Untreated, Weathered Decking: Apply a decking restorer to reveal the natural colour of the wood and to provide a solid base for the stain. Follow the product’s instructions carefully, and allow the deck to dry completely before proceeding.

• For Previously Treated Decking: If your deck has been painted or oiled, use a decking stripper to return it to bare wood. Stripping is necessary to avoid any issues with new stain adherence.

• For New Wood: New decks might have waterproofing treatments that can interfere with stain application. To ensure optimal adhesion, scrub the surface with a decking cleaner and allow it to dry, ensuring that any pre-treatment is removed.

Application Guidelines

The Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain should ideally be applied when temperatures exceed 10°C, and on a day with no rain forecast. Stir the stain well before dipping your brush or pad, and always perform a colour test on a hidden area of the deck.

Begin in the furthest corner and work along the length of 3-4 boards at a time to avoid overlap marks. Two coats are required, with a waiting period of four hours between applications. Once 24 hours have passed, your deck will be ready for use.

Aftercare

To keep your decking looking its best, sweep away debris regularly using a stiff broom. If you notice any mould or algae, clean it promptly to prevent further issues. Regularly inspect your decking for signs of damage and lightly sand any affected areas, reapplying a thin coat of stain as needed.

With these features and guidelines, Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain is your trusted partner in maintaining a beautiful and durable outdoor space.
