Decking & Cladding Wood Sealer...
In order to maintain and enhance the beautiful appearance of your timber deck or cladding it is essential that you apply the best possible wood treatment.
UV light causes the greatest degree of breakdown in wood coating products and Rystix Timbacare has proven its premium quality characteristics in environments with solar radiation levels up to three times those experienced in the UK. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research also confirmed that Rystix out-performed its competitors.
It is recommended that Rystix Exterior Armadek or Rystix Exterior Sealer is
used for the treatment of all softwood and hardwood timber decks except in
the case of hardwood timbers with high oil content such as Ipe. In this instance
the Rystix Exterior Sealer should be applied in conjunction with the hardening
additive for the sealer.
Exterior Armadek and Exterior Sealer are available in a range of 5 colours and a clear variant which are compatible across the products. Both products are tough, grain enhancing, translucent sealers providing years of protection.
After a number of years you should check for wear on the surface of the coating.
Depending on traffic volumes and weathering you will need to apply a maintenance
coat which will involve washing down the surface with a light detergent soap
and then re-coating.
Failure to treat your deck will result in deterioration to the appearance. Ultra Violet (UV light) is a form of high energy, which is of a particular wavelength that is able to penetrate the surface of wood. Because it is high energy it actually breaks down and destroys the cellulose structure of timber. Over a period of time depending on how long the exposure is and how concentrated the UV is, wood turns grey and eventually you will find the surface powders.
