Deck Care
Timber Deck Treatment and Maintenance Guide In order to maintain and enhance the beautiful appearance of your timber deck it is essential that you apply the best possible wood treatment. UV light causes the greatest degree of breakdown in wood coating products and Rystix Timbacare has proven its premium quality characteristics in environments with solar radiation levels up to three times those experienced in the UK. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research also confirmed that Rystix out-performed its competitors. Failure to treat your deck will result in deterioration to the appearance. Ultra Violet (UV light) is a form of high energy, which is of a particular wavelength that is able to penetrate the surface of wood. Because it is high energy it actually breaks down and destroys the cellulose structure of timber. Over a period of time depending on how long the exposure is and how concentrated the UV is, wood turns grey and eventually you will find the surface powders. All information courtesy of Rystix UK Ltd
Rystix Oiling is a good way to look after a deck and for premium hardwood decking a high quality penetrating wood oil is the answer .....
Rystix Exterior Penetrating Oil is a low film build, deep penetrating moisture resistant timber oil. It penetrates into the surface of the timber giving a water repellant durable coating. It also has a high resistance to fungal attack through the action of approved fungicides and biocides. It dries slowly to form an attractive matt sheen which enhances the appearance of the original timber. Suitable for application to any softwood or hardwood including timber with a high natural oil content or timber that has been treated with wax based products. Economical protective coating for exterior doors, windows, patios and decks, fascias, picket fences and all woodwork which is likely to be directly or indirectly exposed to the weather. Warning: UV Protection: The clear variant contains some UV fi lters and inhibitors, but no pigment to enhance UV protection. For better UV protection, the mahogany, oak or cedar colours with the UV filters and inhibitors will increase coating lifespan and better protect the timber. |
