I’ve just had a brand new deck built, now what? What is the Best Wood Deck Treatment to use in Queensland?
Wait….
6-8 weeks of weathering is required before you can successfully apply a decking treatment, this is to allow the natural tannins to leach out of the timber so the treatment can adhere properly.
What are tannins? Tannins are the natural oils in timbers and are more inherent in hardwoods. There are products on the market that speed up the weathering process such as Powerlift from the Flood Company, and also Powerwash from Intergrain.
Alternatively, regular hosing off of your deck will aid the weathering process enabling you to paint your deck in your chosen finish, be it an oil or an acrylic wood treatment.
