Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint

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 Decking Cleaner and Reviver
• 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 Ultimate Protection Decking Paint

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final 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 the decking paint liberally with a good quality decking 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 Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Paint, allowing no longer than 4-6 hours between coats to ensure correct adhesion
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 a suitable decking cleaner.

Maintenance

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

Although it is not classed as non-slip because it has not had the specific testing required for this classification, it will not make the surface slippery. A regular sweep of the decking will ensure the decking stays as slip resistant as possible. It is usually debris that causes the slippery algae build-up.

Ronseal do not recommend spraying this product. Instead consider Ronseal Fence Life Brush.

Yes, this product is advised to go over pressure treated or tanalised softwoods and hardwoods to provide a vibrant, solid colour to decking.
