Ronseal Decking Rescue Paint

Ronseal Decking Rescue Paint offers a quick and easy way of restoring tired and grey garden decking, to give it a new lease of life.

• Looking for a traditional decking finish? See our full range of Ronseal decking oils, stains and treatments

Decked areas to be painted must be clean, dry and free from all surface dirt, debris and other contaminates.

• Traces of surface mould, algae and moss should be scraped off with a scraper, stiff broom or brush
• Areas affected by mould, moss or algae should then be treated with Ronseal High Performance Decking Cleaner
• Once treated, rinse the decking boards off with a hose or better still, a jet washer
• Remove as much loose, peeling of flaking material as possible by sweeping again
• Allow to fully dry for 24 hours before applying Ronseal Decking Rescue Paint

Always do a small test area before starting any project to assess the colour and compatibility of the finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during application to ensure a consistent finish.

1. Apply Decking Rescue Paint liberally with a good quality decking paint brush or other decking applicator
2. When painting a deck, start in the furthest corner, brushing along the length of the decking boards
3. Work along 3-4 deck boards at a time, taking care to minimise overlapping of the paint
4. A little extra paint will fill small cracks and imperfections, giving a new uniform appearance across your deck
5. We recommend 2 coats of rescue paint, allowing 4-6 hours between coats
6. Allow the decking paint to fully harden for 48 hours before placing or moving garden furniture on or across the painted deck (temperature and humidity may affect the overall drying time)

Regular Cleaning

Decked areas can be swept on a regular basis to remove loose dirt and debris, then cleaned with Ronseal High Performance Decking Cleaner or Ronseal Garden Cleaner.

Maintenance

Check decking for signs of wear once annually, and if required, apply a fresh coat of Ronseal Decking Rescue Paint.
