Why Use Decking Oil?

Decking oil is designed to nourish, protect, and enhance the natural beauty of your decking. Unlike stains or paints, which form a surface layer, oil penetrates the wood, preserving the wood, preserving its integrity and extending its lifespan. This absorption process ensures the wood remains flexible and resistant to the common issues of cracking, splitting, and warping caused by fluctuating weather conditions. Additionally, decking oil helps to balance the wood’s moisture content, reducing the risk of shrinkage or expansion that can lead to instability. With the right oil, your decking retains its rich colour and strength, while also providing an extra layer of defence against foot traffic and outdoor exposure. 

Using the best decking oil also ensures:

• Deep protection against moisture
• UV resistance
• Mould and mildew prevention
• Enhanced natural beauty
• Slip resistance
