Highlights
Prestige Plumbing and Building was approached by a homeowner in Latham, ACT whose deck had suffered from years of exposure to the elements. The once beautiful deck had become worn and faded, in desperate need of professional restoration.
The Deck’s Most Pressing Issues
- The protective oil coating had decayed, leaving the timber exposed to harsh weather.
- The wood had dried out and discoloured and was losing its natural beauty.
- The deck was at risk of cracking, warping, and rotting due to exposure.
- The deck's worn appearance affected the overall look of the outdoor space.
- The homeowner was worried about the deck's structural integrity and potential further damage if untreated.
Our Approach:
Bringing An Aging Deck Back To Life
Chemical Strip
The first step involved applying a chemical strip to remove the old, decayed oil from the deck's surface.
Thorough Washing
After stripping the old oil, the deck went through several washes to clean the timber thoroughly, removing any remaining residue and dirt.
Sanding
Once cleaned, the deck was sanded down to its natural wood finish, smoothing out the surface and preparing it for the new protective coating.
Oil Application
Finally, we applied two coats of high-quality oil to protect the timber and enhance its natural beauty.
