Exterior wood treatments – for decking

Wood is a widely used material for building decking. Unfortunately, despite its striking natural appearance, it also has its drawbacks. It is sensitive to weather conditions, which can weaken its structure over time. This is why proper wood treatment is so important, especially for wood outdoors, which is exposed to the forces of Mother Nature every day. Exterior wood care products and treatments are designed to protect wooden surfaces from the damaging effects of moisture, mould and fungi, as well as ensuring lasting colour and an attractive appearance for a long time. This is because the treatment creates an outer protective layer that prevents moisture from penetrating the board and protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.

Types of exterior wood care products and treatments for decking

Wood is frequently used to build decking and other garden structures.

• timber decking oil: penetrates deep into the wood, protecting it from within. Provides effective protection against moisture, ultraviolet radiation and mould. Based on natural linseed oil, which is environmentally friendly;
• water-repellent wood treatment: does not penetrate deep into the wood's structure, but simply creates an outer protective layer that prevents moisture from entering the wood. It also darkens the wood's surface and extends its durability;
• fire-protective wood treatment: protects wooden surfaces, which are then classified as non-ignitable, non-dripping, not shedding parts when exposed to fire, and not spreading fire via building walls. It can be used alongside other products;
• wood stain oil: creates a flexible coating that gives wood a beautiful natural colour. The oil is water-repellent, meaning it prevents moisture from penetrating the wood's surface. Its formula allows the wood to breathe, so the material does not swell or shrink;
• UV protection oil: a product made from natural plant oils that protects the wood's surface against the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays;
• wood protector: a wax-based product that can be used in wet and damp conditions. It contains natural wax and oil, making it safe to use around children and plants;
• bituminous treatment: a bitumen-based product that guarantees the formation of a protective coating to guard wood against rot and the penetration of aggressive substances from the ground. Ideal for wood set in the ground;
• wood cleaner and colour restorer: removes stains that develop while the wood is in use and brightens its surface, restoring its natural, lustrous colour;
• wood reviver: a gel product that removes discolouration from wooden surfaces and helps them regain their original colour. Ideal for renovating old wooden structures;
• decking finish remover: refreshes wooden surfaces by removing old coatings that have started to peel or crack. Restores the attractive appearance of the decking;
• wood preservative concentrate: a concentrated product that is diluted with water. Recommended for protecting decking made from softwood (larch, spruce, pine).
