Product Information

Full details

The Cuprinol UV Guard Decking Oil in Natural Oak (5L) is designed for homeowners looking to protect and enhance their wooden decking. It penetrates deep into the wood, replenishing lost oils and resins while its tinted formula revitalizes weathered surfaces. A key benefit is its long-lasting protection against UV rays and weathering, though it's important to note it's only suitable for bare or previously oiled decking, not treated timber for ground contact.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the drying time take?

The drying time is approximately 6 hours, but this is dependent on the nature of the surface and the weather conditions. Ensure good ventilation.

Can I use this on my garden shed?

This product is specifically designed for decking. For sheds, a different Cuprinol product might be more suitable depending on the wood type and desired finish.

What is the coverage rate?

The surface coverage is approximately 8 square meters per litre, depending on the absorbency of the wood.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Remove as much oil as possible from your equipment before cleaning with water. Water-based formulas allow for easy cleanup with water.

Can I apply this over a painted surface?

No, this product is only suitable for bare or previously oiled decking. It will not adhere properly to paint.

What does 'UV Guard' mean for my decking?

'UV Guard' indicates that the oil contains additives to protect the wood from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, preventing fading and degradation.

Is this suitable for hardwood decking?

This product is ideal for softwood decking. For hardwood, results may vary, and it's recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Decking still looks grey after application

The wood may have been too weathered. You may need to use Cuprinol Decking Restorer first to remove the grey layer before applying the oil.

Uneven finish or sticky patches

This is likely due to applying too much oil or allowing puddles to form. Ensure even application and wipe away any excess that hasn't penetrated.

Product is difficult to apply

Ensure the product is thoroughly shaken and mixed before and during use. If stored in cold conditions, bring it to room temperature.

Water beading on the surface after drying

This is a sign the oil is working effectively and repelling water. If the beading stops and the wood absorbs water, a reapplication may be needed.
