Choosing the finish for your deck is an important part of maintenance, as well as keeping up the aesthetic appeal. The choices are clear: wood stain or paint.
Proper cleaning of a deck will help to keep it in good condition for as long as possible, but in some cases where this has not been performed it becomes necessary.
In areas of high traffic, across cities, work spaces and factories, there is a significant amount of wear which can be caused by cars and other vehicles.
It is important to coat any deck with a suitable material to protect it from the elements. Wood is susceptible to damage from water, so it is important to coat.
