How to preserve a hardwood deck in Canada
November 30th, 2010
When it comes to preserving your hardwood deck in Canada I would recommend trying the Woodrich Hardwood Wiping Stain. We have distributed this product for two years in Canada and our customers are very happy with the results.
The Woodrich Brand Wood Restoration and Preservation System involves 3 easy steps for keeping your wood deck, wood fence, wood siding or log home looking it’s best year round.
1. Cleaning your wood to prepare it for refinishing.
2. Brightening your wood to get it looking it’s best.
3. Finishing your wood with a premium oil based stain and sealer.
Our goal is to make the entire process as simple and straightforward as it can be!
There are a few basic things everyone should know. If you have a new deck, wood fence, wood siding, log cabin or garden deck it will need to be protected. Because no exterior wood finish will last forever, we recommend a high quality oil based wood stain/sealer.
We also recommend that all exterior wood be cleaned and neutralized before applying any stain or sealer. All wood finishes perform better when the surface is properly prepared. Going through the cleaning and brightening steps will also remove things you might not see like mold and mildew spores or oily hand prints from handling the wood during construction.
Once you have applied your wood stain, simple maintenance will keep the finish looking good year round. Keeping the pollen off is important. Rinsing off the dust and dirt every now and then helps, especially on wood decks. Refreshing the finish when it shows signs of wear or begins losing it’s luster will keep your wood looking great for years!
