Wood Deck Staining at it's finest!

Cabot brand, Australian Timber Oil

A second coat and a few last touches turned this deck into a luxurious, beautiful work of art. Just look at it. Read previous posts and see how putting extra time into a project like this turned the wood into something beautiful. Time was spent- one day to stain-strip, one day to dry, one day to put first coat of stain on deck, and a final day to put a second coat on the deck. Enough said. This is the color Jarah Brown by Cabot.

                  Using a water sealant on a wood deck is essential for several reasons:

1. Protection from Moisture: Wood is naturally porous and can absorb water, leading to swelling, warping, and rotting over time. A water sealant creates a barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the wood, extending the life of your deck.

2. Preventing Mold and Mildew: Moist environments are breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which can cause health issues and damage the wood. Sealing your deck helps keep these harmful organisms at bay.

3. UV Protection: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause wood to fade, crack, and splinter. Many water sealants also contain UV blockers that protect the wood from the sun's harmful rays, maintaining its appearance and structural integrity.

4. Enhancing Appearance: A good sealant can enhance the natural beauty of the wood, bringing out its grain and color. It can also provide a smooth, even finish that looks great and feels good underfoot.

5. Ease of Maintenance: Sealed decks are easier to clean and maintain. Dirt, grime, and spills are less likely to penetrate the wood, making it easier to keep your deck looking fresh and clean.

By applying a water sealant, you can ensure your wood deck remains durable, beautiful, and safe for years to come. If you need help with sealing your deck, feel free to reach out to Southern Home Handyman! We can help you in making a good decision regarding the best products to use on new wood.

We are often asked about new wood and what is the best product to use to seal new Wood Decks or Fences and almost always I will recommend a product that I use quite often, Oil-based Ready Seal Water sealant, which contains Linseed Oil and Tung Oil, which act as a Wood Conditioner. What is a Wood Conditioner? A wood Conditioner is an oil, which strengthens wood fibers and compels wood grains to contract and to pull back upon themselves, helping to naturally strengthen your wood.

We have all seen the damage that sun and the elements can do to wood over many years of time. Wood becomes cracked and warped, and this process of applying a Linseed Oil-based product to the wood, keeps that from happening. 

Not only that, but it protects wood from the sun's natural and harmful Ultraviolet rays. It is also a natural fungicide and keeps mold and mildew from growing on your wood. This product is really good, it is very natural looking and comes in several natural appearances like Pecan, Honey-gold, Redwood, Cedar and a few more. You can look at our website for a full list of colors.
