CLEAR THE DECKS FOR SPRING
29 Jul 2015
With Spring just around the corner, it’s time to prepare your timber deck for the season ahead. Quantum Timber Finishes has everything you need to revitalise an old deck or get your new deck looking shipshape for spring.
Quantum Timber Finishes is an Australian company, specialising in bio-based timber conditioners and finishes. Experts in developing timber treatments that work in extreme weather conditions, all Quantum products are unique in their formulation, manufactured onsite and tested in practical commercial applications to ensure the best and most effective treatments on the market.
All timber requires cleaning, so to get the best out of your deck Quantum Timber Finishes has a range of products that work on both hardwoods and softwoods to enhance, protect and condition the timber. Quantum products work effectively because they penetrate into the wood fibres, forming a film in the wood instead of on the wood, maintaining the natural look of the timber and providing long lasting, water repellant, anti-fungal protection against splitting and rotting.
When utilising a timber finish, timber preparation is vitally important as contaminants can cancel out the effectiveness of a timber coating. All external timbers under 12 months old (not previously coated) require preparation with SapStrip to release the tannins and extractives. Old weathered and grey timbers require cleaning with Dex Prep.
Australian Hardwoods require specific attention, so always check the QTF website for the best advice on the cleaning and coating process. If in doubt always contact the manufacturer and check the website for information.
These are just some of the products available from Quantum Timber Finishes that will assist you in properly preparing your deck and guaranteeing you a long-lasting natural look for your timber.
