FAQs

How long does the protection last?

This Ultimate Protection Decking Oil is formulated to last twice as long as standard decking oils, providing superior, long-lasting defence against weathering and wear.

Can I use this on any type of wood?

Yes, this oil is ideal for use on all types of softwood and hardwood decking.

How quickly can I use my deck after applying the oil?

The oil is touch dry in four hours and rainproof in just 90 minutes, allowing for minimal disruption to your outdoor space.

What is the best way to apply the oil?

You can apply the oil using a brush or a decking pad. Ensure you work the oil well into the wood grain for maximum penetration and protection.

How do I clean my oiled deck?

Clean your decking periodically with a soft brush and water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. For more thorough cleaning, use a product specifically designed for oiled decking.

When should I reapply the decking oil?

Reapply the oil as needed, typically once every two years, or when you notice that water no longer beads on the surface, indicating the protective layer has diminished.

What does 'Natural Oak' colour look like?

The Natural Oak shade enhances the timber grain, providing a beautiful, natural wood colour. It's always recommended to test on a small, hidden area first as the final colour can vary depending on the wood type.

Troubleshooting

Decking looks patchy after application

This can happen if the oil was not applied evenly or if the wood was not properly prepared. Ensure an even coat was applied, working the oil into the grain. For future applications, ensure thorough preparation and even coverage. A second coat may help even out the appearance.

Oil is not drying properly

Check environmental conditions. The oil requires temperatures above 5°C and may take longer to dry in humid or cold conditions. Ensure the surface is not saturated with water and that adequate ventilation is available.

Water is not beading on the surface after treatment

This indicates the protective layer may have worn down. Reapply a fresh coat of Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Oil following the application instructions to restore water resistance.

Colour is not as expected

Always test the product on an inconspicuous area first to check the final colour. The final appearance can vary depending on the type and original colour of the wood. A second coat can sometimes deepen the colour.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability, lasting significantly longer than conventional decking oils.
  • Effectively prevents wood from greying and splitting.
  • Restores the natural appearance of weathered wood.
  • Quick drying and rainproof, enabling faster project completion.
  • Suitable for all types of softwood and hardwood decking.
  • Provides strong defence against various weather elements and foot traffic.

Cons

  • Requires specific application conditions for optimal performance, as detailed in instructions.
  • Being a water-based oil, it may require more thorough surface preparation than some solvent-based alternatives.
  • The 'Natural Oak' shade may not perfectly match all existing deck colours without a test patch.
  • Recoat time of 4 hours means a full project might still span across two days.
  • The 2.5L tin size may be insufficient for very large decking areas, requiring multiple purchases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation is Key: Ensure your decking is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and previous coatings. For best results, use a dedicated decking cleaner and follow its instructions. Sand down any rough areas. Ensure the wood is completely dry before application.

Compatibility: This oil is suitable for all types of softwood and hardwood decking. It can be used on pre-treated decking.

Application:

  1. Apply using a brush or a decking pad.
  2. Work the oil well into the wood grain.
  3. Apply a second coat if necessary after 4 hours, ensuring the first coat is touch dry.
  4. The product is rainproof in 90 minutes.

Care: Clean the decking periodically with a soft brush and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For deeper cleaning, use a product specifically designed for oiled decking. Reapply the oil as needed, typically once every two years, or when the water resistance visibly diminishes (water stops beading on the surface). Store any leftover product in its original container with the lid tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
