Decking Stains

Decking stains are specifically formulated wood stains designed for use on outdoor decking surfaces. They are used to enhance the appearance of the deck while providing protection against weathering, UV damage, moisture, and foot traffic.

Decking stains provide a barrier that helps prevent wood rot, splitting, and cracking, thereby extending the life of the deck. Some decking stains also contain additives like fungicides or water repellents to enhance their protective properties. Many decking stains also include additives that improve the slip resistance of the deck surface, reducing the risk of accidents, especially when the deck is wet.

Decks are exposed to constant wear and tear, so regular maintenance is essential. Over time, the stain may fade or wear off, especially in high-traffic areas. Periodic cleaning and reapplication of the decking stain are necessary to maintain the colour and protection of the deck.
