Deck Talk

- Maintenance
The proper washing of your deck is extremely important to its longevity.

Decks tend to suffer under direct sunlight, rain and foot traffic.

Over time, the timber 'weathers' and can become mildewed and dirty.

However, a deck that has become grey can be restored to its natural beauty with a good pressure-wash. Click here for Deck Care products.

A pressure-washer takes water from your garden hose and channels it at high pressure through a handheld trigger-activated wand.

The wand's nozzle is fan shaped and designed for steady, even passes across the surface of the wood to remove dirt and grime.

The right technique takes practice to perfect - and an unsure hand can actually damage timber.

Irregular passes can create a variation in the colour of the decking boards when the timber dries.
