Does this paint provide UV protection?
The paint provides a protective and decorative finish that shields the wood from the elements. Specific UV resistance details are best confirmed with the manufacturer's technical data.
How long does the 5-year guarantee last?
The 5-year guarantee is against peeling and flaking under normal conditions, offering assurance for the durability of the finish.
Can I use this paint on a wooden fence or garden furniture?
While designed for decking, the protective and decorative qualities may be suitable for other exterior wooden structures. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting

Clean tools with water immediately after finishing the application. If paint has dried, use a suitable brush cleaner.
