Deck Makeovers

For many people, summer time is deck time! They can’t wait to get outdoors to entertain friends or host a family get-together. Having a gorgeous deck makes an outdoor soirée even more enjoyable. So, what do you do to make your deck the best place to be this summer? Pick the best wood paint for the job, Arborcoat Waterborne Exterior Paint Stain for wood exteriors.

Here are just a few ideas.

Coat It to Perfection

Start by picking a wood paint that will works best for your deck—and for you. Decks are a perennial favourite with homeowners—despite the maintenance commitments—because nothing beats the beauty of natural wood. A translucent or semi-transparent stain will allow the natural grain to show through. On the other hand, an opaque coating will allow you to enjoy the deck with fewer recoats over the years. You just need to decide what you like best—a more natural appearance or less maintenance. In both cases, deck stains come in a variety of colours to meet the preferences of consumers—everything from subtle greys and birches to dark greens and royal blues. Arborcoat Waterborne Exterior Stain, plus choices of Sikkens Stain and Saman products allow you to turn your current dream projects into a physical reality.

A major trend in the decking world is the use of exotic woods like mahogany, ipe, teak and pau. Once only used for interior flooring and furniture, they are now commonly used on exterior decking. These woods are more expensive than traditional woods like pine and cedar, so it’s important to protect them with wood paint like Saman that will accentuate their beauty. Look for products made especially for these exotic woods to keep the deck looking gorgeous until it’s time to re-stain again.
