Overview

Liberon Decking Oil feeds, protects and enhances the natural beauty of old and new decking boards. It is perfect for reviving and restoring colour to weathered and greying decking, and is also suitable for use on garden fences, sheds, garden gates and hot tub surrounds.

Preparation

Ensure that decking is clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and any other surface contaminants prior to applying Liberon Decking Oil.

Old 'coating' type products such as paints, varnishes and stains must be removed by stripping back to bare wood
If sanding, use a 120-150 grit sandpaper and remove all traces of sanding dust
Old wooden decking should be cleaned with a suitable decking cleaner, and allowed to fully dry, prior to oiling
Sweep decking with a stiff broom or brush to remove all surface dirt and debris prior to oiling

Please note: Decking made from oily or resinous timbers such as Massaranduba, Bangkirai, Garapa, Larch and Douglas Fir usually require a period of 'weathering' prior to applying a decking treatment. Check the decking supplier / manufacturer's guidance on how long decking should be allowed to weather before applying a decking treatment.

Application

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.

Softwood Decking:

Stir well before and periodically during use.
Apply a generous coat of Liberon Decking Oil with a good quality decking brush or microfibre roller
Allow to penetrate for 15 to 30 minutes, then apply the second coat without waiting for the first to dry
Apply further coats of decking oil, until the timber no longer absorbs the oil
Wipe any excess with a lint-free cotton cloth
Allow to dry for 24 before using the decking

Hardwood Decking:

For best results, apply the oil very thinly with a lint-free cloth
It is essential that any excess oil on the surface is wiped off thoroughly with a clean cloth

Please note: The type and age of timber can have a dramatic impact on how much decking oil the wood needs. As an example, softwood decking that is old will likely require more oil than a relatively new hardwood decking that still retains a fair amount of natural oil.

To test how much oil your decking needs, apply one coat, then apply a droplet of oil in a corner. If the droplet of oil soaks into the wood then a further coat can be applied. Repeat this process until the droplet of oil sits as a bead on the surface of the wood and no longer soaks in to the timber. This is an indication that the timber has absorbed as much oil as possible and doesn't require any more.

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 any loose leaves, dirt and other organic matter that can settle on the deck and in the grooves, which can degrade or damage the finish and decking timbers over time.

Deep Cleaning

For heavily soiled decks or decking affected by mould, mildew and grime, clean with Liberon Tough Deck Clean and Revive.

Maintenance

Apply 1 or 2 coats of Liberon Decking Oil once yearly as part of a routine maintenance schedule, to avoid decking finishes looking tired and worn.

On high traffic areas, re-apply 1 or 2 coats of Decking Oil as and when required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.

The easy to use and goes a long way

The third time I have used this product on my decking for many years, and always satisfied with the result.

Excellent product with great finish and protection

Bought the clear finish, brought out the beauty of the wood. Easy to apply, very satisfied with this product.

Good Quality

Good area coverage, suitable for electric sprayer

Improvement on original

I've used Liberon's normal decking oil with good success, but prefer the Superior. Think it has more solvent in it, meaning it dries quicker and is less likely to leave a sticky finish. It can raise the grain a bit more as a result, but that isn't a big deal to de-nib.

Liberon decking oil - is the best!!

Over many years of using various different branded decking oils, Liberon undoubtedly is the best for the job.

Quality Product

Great product this is my second purchase.

First class product

I ordered this Liberon Decking Oil on the advice of my gardener who said it was a first class product. The old decking looks revived and well presented. I would fully recommend this product.

Does what it says on the tin

Covers like a coloured varnish but soaked in well. I was getting worried about my decking it was looking worse for ware. This really brought it up like new. Don’t forget you have to put some real work cleaning it up before you apply it but it’s definitely worth it.

Excellent and easy to apply

A great oil that gives the decking a beautiful light sheen which looks great and protects for years. A second coat is a recommended to get the best out of the oil

Not yet used

I have not yet used this product but based in previous experience I am confident it will do the job well.

Very easy to use

Excellent quality decking oil which is easy to use and covers well. I have used it before and will certainly use it again

Excellent

Excellent product, covers very well and looks great after only one coat. Will definitely use again when needed.

Decking oil

This decking oil is excellent and protects the wood from the Scottish rain.

Great

Came out very nice on decking although the colour isn’t clear

Awesome product

Applied to decking using foam roller. Easy to apply. Dried in circa 5 hrs. Job done. Very impressed

Best decking oil I’ve used

Arrived on time and very well packaged Easy to apply and great coverage Finish is excellent and is by far best oil I have used over many years Will be interesting to see if finish lasts longer than previously used ones

Great product

A little thinner than I had expected, but went on well, best application method is via a pad. Did not know if I should have a clear or 'tinted', went for the teak finish which has brought Ipe deck back to its original colour. About three days after application it rained and the water was beading nicely on the surface which is good!

Fab stuff

I've used Liberon deck oil for about 7years now. I swept with a stiff brush first and used Liberon Deck cleaner. The next day I oiled it. It goes on very easily. I used a deck brush. First coat was left for 45mins then second coat. Left it dry the 24hr drying time. It looks great. I always use Liberon and always buy it from Wood Finishes Direct.

Not expensive for such a brilliant product

Easy order process delivered on time and good value for money very happy with my purchase. I've been using this Liberon product for many years can't beat the price & quality, it's brilliant. I use it on the exterior my garden shed & inside the access door & fence panels, just can't beat it. My daughter uses the same product for her decking, fence panels and gate's, it makes the wood look very natural once dried wouldn't use anything else.

Used product for years, always happy with it.

Very quick with processing order, happy with product.

Very pleased with this product, deck now very waterproofed.

I wish I had purchased tis oil the last time, the water based one I used was not very successful.

Great product

The best decking oil I’ve used by far, it keeps your decking looking good and well protected. Keep on top of the maintenance of your decking and you’ll need to re-oil it once a year to keep it looking it’s best which I think is fair enough. I’ve used other brands before and they’re just not a patch on liberon. Highly recommend

Totally happy with this product

It was very easy to apply and the second coat went on after about an hour. So far it is doing its job well and shedding the water well

Easy to use product

I purchased this product to do my fence it was very easy to use it left my fence with a nice rich colour to it I would definitely use this product again

Very good

Did a much better job than some well known brands decking looks fabulous

Liberon - simply the best decking oil

I have a very large decking area that needs treating once a year. Our decking is now at least 12 years old, having initially tried two or three different brands of decking oil, without doubt, Liberon is the best by far for the job.

Great product and delivery

Easy to apply

Good but pricy

Have used Liberon deck oil for years.

Excellent

This product is exceptionally good, this is the second purchase of this product I would need to be convinced there was anything better to use than this decking oil, superb. Quick & easy order process, delivered on time and without any hassles, will buy again.
