RONSEAL ULTIMATE PROTECTION DECKING STAIN
Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain colours and waterproofs your deck providing a longer-lasting slip-resistant finish.
Using advanced technology it penetrates deeper into the wood for increased adhesion and hardness build-up to provide double the foot traffic protection and weather resistance versus standard decking stains.
BEFORE YOU START
Untreated, weathered decking: For untreated grey and weathered wood use Ronseal Decking Restorer to restore the deck's natural colour and provide a sound base for application which ensures the stain penetrates effectively.
Previously finished decking: Use Ronseal Decking Cleaner & Reviver to remove any dust, grease, oil, mildew, algae and other contaminants. Remove any loose, flaking or peeling coatings. To avoid patchiness, and if using a contrasting colour, make sure you remove all previous finishes using Ronseal Decking Stripper. Ensure cut ends are adequately protected using Ronseal Decking End Grain Protector.
New Wood: New decking should be allowed to weather naturally (usually 6 months). This will make sure any pre-treatment has eroded allowing the stain to penetrate and adhere to the deck. Clean the deck with Ronseal Decking Cleaner and Reviver using a scrubbing brush to open the pores of the wood and remove any contamination from the manufacture of the timber. Rinse thoroughly with clean water ideally using a pressure washer. Allow drying fully before overcoating. Test effectiveness of the cleaning by splashing the deck with water. If beading occurs, re-clean. Retest before applying any stain.
APPLICATION
- Ensure decking is thoroughly dry. Do not apply in damp conditions or when rain is likely before the product has dried. Do not apply below 10°C.
- Stir thoroughly before and during use. Do not dilute.
- Use a good quality wide brush designed for water-based finishes. Apply liberally to make sure the deck is evenly and sufficiently covered.
- Treat 3-4 boards at a time to avoid overlap marks. Ensure the leading edge is distributed evenly. Always work along the grain.
- Apply 2 coats. Allow 4 hours between each coat.
Usage Areas: Ridged or smooth hardwood and softwood decking.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on untreated, weathered or previously stained decking. If using a contrasting colour previous finishes must be fully removed.
Clean-Up: Wash brushes out in warm, soapy water.
