Deck Oil Top Up

How to Easily Maintain Your Deck with a Simple Oil Top Up

Maintaining a beautiful deck can be challenging, especially with children, pets, a busy social life, and the harsh Queensland weather. These factors can cause your deck to show signs of wear and tear in just a few months. So, how can you keep your deck looking great all year round? The answer is simpler than you might think.

Traditional Deck Coatings vs. Burnishing Oil

Traditional deck coatings, such as Sikkens, require you to buff back the entire deck and apply a new layer of protective oil every year. This process builds up a skin-like layer on the previous coat, changing the colour of your deck and risking a patchy result if you miss a spot.

Floor offers an innovative deck top-up system from Germany called Burnishing Oil. This revolutionary product allows you to top up your deck oil as easily as cleaning your kitchen bench. With a simple spray and wipe process, worn areas seamlessly blend with the rest of your deck.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Burnishing Oil

  1. Spray the burnishing oil on the affected area.
  2. Wipe it with a soft cloth to help the oil penetrate the timber and reseal your deck.

Gone are the days of expensive re-coats of traditional decking oil. Once Floor sands and oils your decks, you can easily top them up with a spray and wipe using Parkett Oil and an old rag. The best part is you don’t have to treat the entire deck each time—just the areas that need it most. For optimal results, we recommend giving your complete deck a full spray and wipe once a year to keep it resealed and in top shape.

Deck Wash: Keeping Your Deck Clean and Mould-Free

To maintain the cleanliness and longevity of your deck, we also recommend using a Deck Wash. This unique product has oil-like properties that nourish your deck with every wash, helping to keep it clean and mould-free.
