A deck can be a great spot to enjoy time outside under the sun or to host backyard barbecues, but a deck can also be open to the elements and regular wear and tear that can cause the wood to become worn, faded, and damaged over time. Fortunately, you can add a layer of stain to help seal your deck and protect it from deterioration. Here is some information on how deck staining works.
- Soaks into the wood: As long as the wood of your deck has been properly repaired and cleaned beforehand, the stain will soak into the wood of your deck with the pigment penetrating the fibers of the wood. This also allows the new color to last longer than a basic layer of paint.
- Acts as a protectant: By soaking into the wood, the pigment coats the fibers and forms a protective layer for the wood. This protectant can prevent rotting, degradation, and insect damage.
- A lasting transformation: We always follow up our deck staining services with the application of a sealant to further protect the new layer of stain and your deck from water or sun damage. This will allow the new stain to last even longer and increase the level of protection for your deck to preserve it, as well.
Deck staining can be a great way to improve the overall appearance of your deck while also helping it to last as long as possible. You will surely be proud to invite your friends and neighbors to every backyard barbecue just to show off your newly transformed deck.
