FAQ
What is the best way to apply timber treatment?
For most products, simply clean and dry the surface first. Use a brush or applicator recommended by the manufacturer, and work in the treatment evenly. Always follow the product instructions regarding how many coats to apply and how long to allow each coat to dry.
Do I need a specific product for outdoor timber?
Yes. Outdoor wood, such as fences or decks, is exposed to water, UV rays, and temperature changes, so it requires a preservative or protector formulated to resist these factors. Look for treatments labelled as “exterior” or “outdoor” to ensure maximum durability.
How often should I treat my wood to prevent rot and decay?
It depends on the product and your local climate. Many treatments recommend re-application every 12 to 24 months. However, inspecting your timber for signs of wear, fading, or mould can help you determine if you need to apply a fresh coat sooner.
Can timber treatments be used on fences and decks?
Absolutely. Most timber treatments are suitable for fences, decks, and other outdoor installations. Just confirm that your chosen solution is designed for external use, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
