Eco Paint Specialist’s Painting Contractor of Denver/Aurora, painting the Front Range of Colorado with over 32 years exp. recently learned something new & exciting wishing to share with all.
Not only painting, but cleaning, power washing, pressure cleaning decks, fences, and Cedar Sided homes is a key area of expertise with most painting contractors, especially in the Colorado market. Many homes in the Colorado market have some portion of wood treated with a Semi-Transparent or Solid Body exterior stain. Stains protect decks, fences, cedar siding homes, and of course log homes. Leaving untreated, this wood will grey and blacken to later deteriorate over time, in that order. Getting grey out of the wood is and has been quite easy over the years with a wide variety of deck and wood cleaner products available on the market today. (more…)
As winter quickly approaches, one area that gets overlooked is the back deck. The most valuable time spent shoveling snow is off the deck surfaces.
If deck has solid body deck stain, this will typically lift up and crack much quicker if snow is left on surfaces to naturally melt over days or weeks, being in shade or not.
If deck has semi-transparent stains, the finish will not lift and crack, however will diminish the stains protection, needing to re-stain much quicker.
However, with normal snowfalls in Denver and the Front Range of Colorado, not sweeping snow off deck surfaces will result cutting life-expectancy in half for which ever product used. Taking a large shop broom, a 2′ foot of snow can be easily swept off deck, much easier than snow blowing driveway, having a Translucent Deck Stain by Sikkens. This stain offers a high build hard slick finish, which makes re-coating much easier, using far less product on secondary applications.
Below, is a Deck that needs to be swept off after recent snowfall. Deck Stain is a Sikken’s Cetol 1 & 23 product in Mahogany color. Deck has had 3 applications, 2 coats each, which is undoubtedly the Best Deck Stain on the market, making the wood bullet-proof using this product multiple deck stain applications.
Remove Snow asap, Protecting Deck Stain & Finish
Which ever product used, don’t forget the deck, although it’s far too easy to sit back down coming in from the driveway. Stay warm and Good Luck.
