FAQs

How much area does 2.5 litres of Ronseal Decking Stain cover?

2.5 litres of Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain covers approximately 16 m² (6.4 m² per litre), assuming one coat. Actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity and condition of the wood.

Can I apply this stain over existing paint or varnish?

This stain is designed for bare or previously stained decking. For best results, remove any old paint or varnish completely before application.

What is the best way to clean the deck after it's been stained?

Clean the stained deck using a stiff brush and water. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the protective finish.

How long does the protection last?

Ronseal Ultimate Protection Decking Stain offers double the weather resistance and foot traffic protection compared to standard decking oils, providing extended durability. Specific longevity depends on environmental factors and usage.

Can I apply this stain in cold weather?

It is recommended to apply the stain when the temperature is between 5°C and 25°C and when there is no risk of frost or rain.

Does this stain completely hide the wood grain?

No, this stain provides a lightly tinted finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain rather than completely obscuring it.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or patchy finish.

Ensure the stain was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats and avoid over-application or leaving puddles. Ensure consistent brush strokes in the direction of the wood grain.

Stain not drying within the specified time.

Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (typically 5-25°C). High humidity can slow drying. Avoid applying in direct, hot sunlight or in damp conditions.

Wood appears darker than expected.

The final colour can vary depending on the type and condition of the wood. Test the stain on an inconspicuous area first to gauge the final appearance. Two coats will result in a darker, richer colour than one coat.

Water beading on the surface after application.

This is a sign the stain is working correctly and providing water repellency. Allow the stain to fully cure; water repellency may increase over the first few days.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides superior protection against harsh weather conditions.
  • Offers enhanced resistance to foot traffic, ideal for busy areas.
  • Dries quickly, minimizing disruption and downtime.
  • Good coverage rate, potentially reducing the amount of product needed.
  • Easy to apply with a brush for precise control.

Cons

  • Offers a lightly tinted finish, not a transparent or opaque coating.
  • Requires a brush for application, unlike some spray-on alternatives.
  • Coverage rate is dependent on wood porosity and application method.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key:

  1. Ensure the decking is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and old finishes. Use a dedicated decking cleaner if necessary and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Lightly sand the surface if required to ensure good adhesion, especially if there are any rough patches or old, flaking coatings.
  3. Sweep away any dust after sanding.

Application:

  1. Stir the stain thoroughly before and during use.
  2. Apply evenly using a good quality brush, working in the direction of the wood grain.
  3. For best results, apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
  4. Allow the first coat to dry for at least 90 minutes before applying the second coat.

Compatibility:

This product is suitable for use on all bare or previously stained softwood and hardwood decking.

Care:

  • Clean brushes immediately after use with water.
  • For ongoing maintenance, clean the deck with a stiff brush and water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can degrade the protective finish.
