Coming with a 5-year guarantee, it offers stain protection, colour, and wood degeneration prevention all in one whilst still enhancing the natural grain of the wood.

Preparation

To ensure a perfect finish on timber previously treated with Sealer/Paint/Woodstain, sand the existing treatment to expose the bare wood.

Ensure the wood is dust-free.

On exotic and hard woods, dilute the first coat with 10% water.

One final check: The ‘Water Drop Test’: Place a small amount of water on the timber. If the water droplet absorbs into the timber, you may apply the Extreme Decking Paint. If the water droplet remains on the timber surface, the Extreme Decking Paint will not adhere.

Degrease the surface with denatured alcohol.

On new timber, wait three months before applying Extreme Decking Paint; this will then allow the timber to absorb the Extreme Decking Paint fully.

On exotic and hard woods or oily timber: remove any excess oil using denatured alcohol.

Application

Before applying the product test a small area on the surface to be treated to ensure you are happy with the finished results.

Apply when temperatures are between 12° and 25°C, in dry weather. It is not recommended applying the Extreme Decking Paint in strong winds and when bad weather is forecast.
Stir the product well before and during application. Use a mixer or wide stick, working around the bottom of the tin to mix it well.
Apply the product with a brush between the grooves and edges in 2 sqm areas at a time, then paint with the roller in various directions, (top to bottom and sideways), avoiding excessive application.
Allow to dry for 8 hours, then allow a second coat as above.
On porous floors or areas of high traffic a third coat may be necessary.
Allow to dry for 48 hours after the final coat before usage.

Aftercare & Storage

Cleaning

Keep your decking clear of debris to prolong the finish and frequently clean any build-up grime and mould.

Maintenance

If there are any signs of heavy wear or surface damage, we would advise applying a maintenance coat. Woods with little absorption (Iroko, Wenge, Larch etc) require a regular application of a maintenance coat. Applying further coats of Extreme Decking Paint: Wash existing timber with a pressure washer and remove any foliage / moss and excess oil stains.
