Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does it take for the decking protector to dry?

Drying times can vary based on weather conditions. Generally, the surface will be dry to touch within a few hours, but a second coat should not be applied until the first coat is dry. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying time recommendations.

Can I apply this over an existing stain or varnish?

It is best to apply this product to bare, prepared wood. If there is an existing finish, it must be completely removed and the surface sanded smooth before application for optimal adhesion and performance.

What is the coverage rate of this product?

The Ronseal Natural Decking Protector Trade 5L has a coverage rate of approximately 16m² per litre.

Is this product suitable for garden furniture?

While primarily designed for decking, its protective qualities may be suitable for other exterior wooden items. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired finish.

How often should I reapply the decking protector?

The longevity of the finish depends on factors like weather exposure, foot traffic, and maintenance. Typically, reapplication may be needed every 1-3 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance.

Does the 'Natural' colour significantly change the wood's appearance?

The 'Natural' colour is designed to enhance and protect the wood's existing tone while providing a satin finish. It aims to provide a subtle enhancement rather than a drastic colour change.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy appearance

Ensure the product was applied evenly and in thin coats. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or windy conditions, which can cause rapid drying and unevenness. Make sure the wood surface was properly prepared and dry before application.

Peeling or blistering after application

This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation or moisture trapped beneath the finish. Ensure the wood was completely dry and free of contaminants. For future applications, ensure adequate ventilation during drying and consider the flexible resin technology's ability to handle wood movement.

Product drying too quickly

Avoid applying during very hot or windy weather. Work in smaller sections and apply the product steadily. If the product has already dried too quickly, you may need to sand the affected area and reapply.

Wood still looks unprotected after application

Ensure sufficient coats were applied according to the coverage rate. A second coat is often necessary for full protection and durability. Check if the wood was adequately dry and clean before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key: Before application, ensure the decking surface is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, grease, or old finishes. Sand down any rough patches and remove loose debris. For best results on new or bare wood, allow it to weather for a few weeks or use a suitable wood cleaner and brightener.

Application: Apply using a brush or roller, working in the direction of the wood grain. Apply thin, even coats. A second coat is recommended for maximum protection, applied after the first coat has dried (check product for specific drying times).

Coverage: The product has a coverage rate of approximately 16m² per litre. Always calculate your needs based on the size of the area to be treated and the number of coats required.

Compatibility: This product is designed for use on exterior wooden decking. It is not recommended for use on painted surfaces or other materials.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. To maintain the finish, clean the deck periodically with water and mild detergent. Reapplication may be necessary every few years, depending on exposure and wear.
