Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can Ronseal Fence Life Plus Slate Matt be used on decking?

No, this product is specifically formulated for sheds and fences and is not suitable for decking or other areas subject to foot traffic. Using it on decking may result in a slippery surface.

How many coats do I need for the best results?

While a single coat will provide colour and some protection, for the best colour depth, uniformity, and the full 5 years of protection, we recommend applying two even coats. Allow 1 hour between coats.

What is the drying time for this product?

Ronseal Fence Life Plus Slate Matt typically dries within 1 hour under normal weather conditions, allowing you to complete your project quickly.

How long does the protection last?

This product provides 5 years of protection for your sheds and fences, safeguarding them from the elements.

Can I apply this product with a paint sprayer?

The product description specifies application with a brush. If you intend to use a sprayer, please consult Ronseal's general guidelines for sprayer compatibility or look for products specifically formulated for spray application.

Is the Slate Matt colour opaque or translucent?

The Slate Matt colour is opaque, meaning it will provide a solid, consistent grey finish that covers the natural grain and previous colours of the wood.

How much area will a 5L tub cover?

A 5L tub will cover up to 30 m² on average, based on a coverage rate of 6 m² per litre. Actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity and condition of the wood.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or patchy colour after application.

Ensure the wood surface was clean and dry before application. Stir the product thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly with a good quality brush, ensuring consistent coverage. A second coat, applied after the first has dried (1 hour), will often even out any discrepancies and deepen the colour.

Product is not drying in 1 hour.

Check the weather conditions. Drying time can be extended by high humidity, low temperatures, or if the product has been applied too thickly. Ensure application is in thin, even coats and wait for optimal weather conditions (dry, mild temperatures).

Coverage is less than expected (less than 6 m² per litre).

Highly porous wood, such as very old or weathered rough sawn timber, will absorb more product. Ensure the surface is adequately prepared. While Ronseal Fence Life Plus offers good coverage, very rough or untreated wood may require more product per square metre. Adjust your estimation accordingly or consider an extra coat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides 5 years of reliable protection.
  • Dries quickly in just 1 hour.
  • Offers both colour and protection in one product.
  • Suitable for various wood finishes (rough sawn and smooth planed).
  • Opaque finish provides strong, consistent colour.

Cons

  • Specific Slate Matt colour may not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • Application is specified for brush only, not suitable for sprayers based on description.
  • Coverage of 6 m² per litre is an average and can vary depending on wood porosity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, mould, algae, or loose flakes of old treatment. If necessary, clean the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Stirring: Stir the product well before and during use to ensure the colour is evenly distributed.
  3. Application: Apply evenly with a brush, working along the grain of the wood. For best results, it's often recommended to apply at least two coats, allowing 1 hour between coats. Ensure the ambient temperature is suitable for outdoor painting (typically above 10°C and not in direct scorching sun).

Compatibility

  • This product is specifically designed for `rough sawn` and `smooth planed` sheds and fences. Do not use it on decking or other surfaces where foot traffic is expected, as it may become slippery.

Care

  • Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
  • Storage: Store any unused product in its original container, sealed tightly, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Maintenance: To maintain the 5-year protection and colour, inspect your treated wood annually and reapply if signs of wear or fading become apparent, especially after severe weather.
