Preparation: Painting Decking

When it comes to painting decking, there’s a lot that needs considering first. One of the main things you need to think about is preparation, which will vary depending on the state of the surface. If you have decided to refurbish your deck boards or decking area with a new paint colour or stain, then it is important your decking obtains a finish that lasts and gives the wood the protection and longevity you require.

Identify the Deck your Working With

Its important to identify which type of material your deck is made from, then you can identify which type of material the decking boards are made from. There are many different types of decking so it’s important to do your research and choose the best option for you and your family.

• New Wood Surfaces - Quite often with new wood surfaces, the wood will come with a hard-shiny surface, known as mill glaze. The mill glaze will prevent products from penetrating and adhering properly. When this is the case, Seasonite protection for new wood should be used and allowed to weather for at least 6 months. After this, you will be able to treat the surface with a suitable deck paint.
• Weathered Wood Surfaces - Weathered wood will need to be prepared properly. The surface will need to be cleaned and all grime and dirt will need to be removed. Net-trol is an ideal wood cleaner designed to clean your decking in preparation for decking treatment or coating.
• Previously Coated Surfaces - All flaking or peeling paint should be removed prior to the application of any paint, oil or stain. You may need to use Dilunett to strip the coating first and then neutralise it with Net-trol. A further 48 hours should be allowed for the surface to dry properly before applying a suitable deck coating.

Remember to clean the area by removing any furniture, step nosing angles, pots or plants. Make sure all screws and nails have not come loose as the timber has expanded and contracted with moisture. Then sweep with a stiff brush to remove any leaves, algae or moss.

Non-Slip Decking Paint

A good-quality deck coating will have had slip tests done during the manufacture stage. These tests are universal and are done under laboratory conditions using a pendulum testing machine. The machine uses a rubber shoe which is attached to an arm that swings. It records the amount of distance the shoe moves across the surface in various wet and dry conditions. The shorter the distance, the higher the value of slip resistance.

The results are calculated under the title of PTV (Pendulum Test Value) and are rated as follows:

• Low Slip Potential: +36
• Moderate Slip Potential: 25-35
• High Slip Potential: 0-24

This figure can be dramatically improved with anti-slip coatings, stains and additives supplied by Promain. Anti-Slip additives on a basic level are grit that is sprinkled on the first layer of paint to provide an abrasive surface that is supplied in various grain densities. This can really help to prevent accidents to keep your family or business users safe whatever the application. The actual rating of the PTV cannot be guaranteed. This will depend on the type of application and the material it is applied upon.

Frequently Asked Questions About Decking Paint

How Do I Apply Deck Paint?

Many people ask what temperature to paint decks, when really the whole weather situation should be considered. Many customers attempt to get their garden decks ready for Summer by painting their deck in Easter. Although this may seem ideal, as shown this Easter the weather has been appalling for external painting! The Promain technical team recommend allocating approximately 5 – 7 days from start to finish to have your deck paint project finished. During this time scale, you will need the weather forecast to not expect rain for the whole of the job. If you are looking to paint deck balustrade, paint deck spindles or paint deck railing, you will need to allow for more time as preparing these areas are a bit fiddly to work with.

Is it Better to Paint or Stain a Deck?

Both paint and stain can give you a deck that lasts years longer than it would if left untreated. These materials make the wood less water absorbent, causing the wood to stat dry on the inside. They also include compounds designed to protect the wood from harmful UV rays, which means less of the awful sun damage that can ruin exposed wood decks.

Can I Use Exterior or House Paint on Decking?

Although exterior paint has been used on decks before, it is not something that we would recommend. Exterior paint will not last if a proper deck paint or stain. This is because it does not like sitting water. Most exterior paints are for vertical use and would not tend to have pools of water sitting on them for long periods. A deck paint such as Owatrol Deck Paint has been tried and tested on horizontal surfaces and as the name suggests is specifically designed for use on decks. House paint is not recommended for use on decks. It tends to be emulsion and therefore is not made for use outside as it will not hold up to the elements very well.
