Seasonal Spotlight: Decking and Outdoor Wood Care
As the weather grows warmer, it is the ideal time to take care of “outside” jobs, like painting your garden furniture and refinishing your decking! In this blog, the Paint Monster team are shining a spotlight on the products that can help you refresh your garden this summer.
Decking Finishes
At Paint Monster, we stock a wide range of finishing products that offer superior water and UV light resistance, preserving the appearance and structure of your decking. From decking oil that brings out the natural beauty of the timber to single-layer saturators in a variety of colours, it
has never been easier to customise your outdoor spaces to suit your style. Our catalogue also contains useful products to help you finish your decking, including Owatrol Prepdeck and Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel.
Wood Preserver
Some types of wood are more prone to mould, blue stain, or UV bleaching. These issues are not only unsightly, but can cause damage to the wooden products in your outdoor spaces. In order to preserve and protect them, there are several products that you can apply.
Wood contains a polymer called lignin, which is degraded by UV light. This means that your decking or wooden furniture can change colour when exposed to sunlight for long periods of time. Using specifically designed UV protection oils, like those offered by Osmo and Treatex, you
can add a protective layer that reduces the damage to the lignin polymers and preserves the longevity of the wood.
Wood Care
The furniture and decking in your garden face the elements all year round — frequent rain, summer heatwaves, snow and frost can all take a toll on the appearance and integrity of your wooden structures. To help you protect them, Paint Monster stocks high-quality, professional wood care brands, including:
– Anker Stuy
– Blackfriar
– Konig
– Leyland Trade
– Liberon
…and many more!
