Overview

Barrettine Anti-Slip Decking Oil is a premium quality, anti-slip, decking oil top coat, which incorporates anti-slip technology to improve grip on decking, wooden steps and other wood surfaces where improved grip is desirable, such as play frames.

Please Note: This product is an anti-slip top coat for decking oils and is not suitable for use as a stand-alone product. It is not intended for use in areas of constant high humidity, wet or damp areas such as shower rooms and around swimming pools.

Preparation

Decked areas to be treated should be clean, dry and free from dirt, debris and other surface contaminates.

New Decking Preparation

For all bare wood decking including tanalised, pressure treated and preservative impregnated decking timbers.

New Softwood Decking

  1. Sweep the decking with a stiff broom to remove all traces of surface dirt and debris
  2. Use a suitable decking cleaner if required before oiling
  3. Any open end grain can be sealed with Barrettine End Grain Preserver
  4. Wipe down the surface with a lint-free cloth dampened with white spirit to remove any surface resins
  5. For best protection, treat decking with Barrettine Premier Universal Preservative and allow to dry for 24 - 48 hours before applying Anti Slip Decking Oil
  6. If possible, preserve all sides including end grain prior to installation
  7. For preserved timber, it is recommended to apply 2 coats of Barrettine Decking Oil before applying a top coat of Barrettine Anti Slip Decking Oil to give the best level of protection

New Hardwood Decking

New hardwood decking usually requires a period of weathering to allow the surface grain to open up. This allows for better absorption of the decking oil. Check the decking manufacturer's guidance on how long decking should be left to weather before applying a decking treatment.

Old Decking Preparation

  1. Ensure that all 'coating' type finishes such as paints, varnishes and varnish like stains have been fully removed to expose bare wood by either jet washing, sanding or using a dedicated decking stripper and remover. This may require more than one attempt.
  2. If stripping back to bare wood, 2 coats of a decking oil such as Barrettine Decking Oil must be applied before applying Barrettine Anti-Slip Decking Oil
  3. Old oil finishes should be cleaned thoroughly with Barrettine Decking & Patio Cleaner or other suitable decking cleaner
  4. For decking affected by mould, algae or moss, use Barrettine Mould and Mildew Cleaner
  5. Then treat as 'New Decking' above

Application

Always do a test area before beginning any project to assess performance, compatibility and end result. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not apply Barrettine Anti Slip Decking Oil if the ambient temperature is below 5°, in wet conditions or if rain is likely within 24 hours of application. Decked areas should be completely dry before application. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during application to ensure a consistent finish.

  1. Decant the decking oil into a paint kettle
  2. Apply an even coat of decking oil to the surface with a wide-bristled brush
  3. Work the oil into the surface of the wood grain
  4. Wipe off any excess oil with a clean, lint-free cloth
  5. Allow to dry for 12 - 24 hours
  6. Leave for 24 - 72 hours, or until completely dry, before subjecting decking to foot traffic

Aftercare

Regular Cleaning

To preserve the look and performance of the oiled finish for longer it is recommended that decked areas are swept with a stiff broom on a regular basis. This is to remove loose leaves, dirt and other organic matter that can settle on the decking boards and in the grooves, which can degrade or damage the finish and decking timbers over time.

Deep Cleaning

Scuff marks, stains, grease and other surface contaminates can normally be cleaned with a decking cleaner. Stubborn marks and stains may require a light sanding and a thin application of Anti Slip Decking Oil to restore the affected area.

Maintenance

If the finish begins to look tired or worn over time, or begins to lose its anti-slip properties, simply apply a fresh coat of Barrettine Anti Slip Decking Oil, following the Preparation and Application instructions above. Renovation is recommended every 6 months, and more often for high traffic areas.

FAQ

Can I apply 2-3 coats of this product onto the bare wood?

No, this is a topcoat only. 1 thin coat of Barrettine Decking Oil should be applied first before overcoating with Barrettine Anti-Slip Decking Oil

This is a brilliant product.

The Barrittine non slip coating for decking is fantastic. I used it after two coats of Barrettine decking oil. It really works well. After using it when wet it still allows you to walk on it with no hint of slipping.

Easy to use

Easy to use with paintbrush after giving the can a shake to mix it up. Dries quite quickly but doesn't initially look like it would be anti-slip. It does, however, leave a residue on the decking almost like fine sandpaper. I also used it on a mahogany table which did show up the product with white streaks so be aware of this on darker woods. The white colour didn't show up on my weathered decking. I did use the Clear (not coloured) product.

Great product. Covers well.

Enjoyed working the decking with this product and applied the anti slip second coat. So far so good. Will reapply every six or twelve months depending on how it feels underfoot in the autumn.

Works well

I used the non slip oil on my ramp and ordinary oil on the rest of my deck. Having slipped over twice on exposed area's of the deck covered in ordinary oil, but not at all on the non slip covered ramp, I concluded the non slip does the job well (and we've had a lot of rain!). This year all my deck will be treated with the non slip finish.

Works well, easy to use, and great help from staff

I have bought several different products (e.g. finishes / protection of both decking and fences, + specialist white paint, mould killer etc) from Wood Finishes Direct, and all have been good, it keeps me coming back for more. Please though I wish like all on line products that I buy form any company I am always being asked to write are view.

Great product!

Repeat purchase of Barrettine anti-slip - it’s a great product that works!

OK but probably not needed except rare cases

It's ok, but it doesn't feel like it makes enough of a difference to warrant buying it for my case: I have a flat decking terrace and it didn't feel like it did much more than the underlying oil (this is not meant to go as the only oil). I can see it helping for certain niche cases (slippery stairs/slanted areas) but otherwise probably too extra.

Excellent product. Easy to apply with roller and produces good non slip finish

Applied product on top of Barrentine decking oil. Our decking was quite slippy in the wet, but this product has made a big difference, it will be a lot safer to walk on in winter

Great product.

This does what it says, anti slip decking oil. I have used Barrettine decking oil in the past and it is excellent, but it can be a bit slippery when wet, so I decided to try the anti slip version. Result no more slipping. It costs a bit more than the standard one, but the extra expense is worth it for the extra safety.

Reordered this products for replacement decking as much higher quality than found elsewhere and greatly improves traction, applied on top of Barrettine Decking Oil.
