Ronseal Eco Decking Stain delivers superior performance compared to standard decking stains due to the unique water-borne Linseed Oil based resin system. It protects and waterproofs decking from the harmful effects of rain, frost and UV rays whilst resisting cracking, peeling and flaking. Translucent pigments deliver long lasting natural colour which enhance the beauty of wooden decking. Linseed Oil is a naturally-derived plant oil and has been used as a replacement for as many crude oil-derived materials (petrochemicals) found in conventional decking stains as possible. It is packaged in a steel tin which contains up to 40% recycled material and is 100% recyclable.

Ronseal Eco Decking Stain is specially formulated for use on all decking timber including pre-treated, pressure treated and preservative impregnated wood. It is recommended for all exterior horizontal timber where foot traffic and wear will occur. It can be used on new or previously stained and weathered decking.

We advise a minimum of 2 coats are applied to ensure maximum durability, and if required, a third coat may be applied leaving 4 hours between each coat.

Drying times will vary depending on climatic conditions and substrate. Generally the coating will be rainproof in 90 minutes and ready for recoat in 4 hours. Allow 24 hours before subjecting the coating to foot traffic.

1. Prepare the deck with Ronseal Decking Cleaner

2. Stir thoroughly before and during use - do not dilute.

3. Apply using the Ronseal Perfect Finish Decking Applicator or a good quality wide brush designed for the application of water-based finishes.

4. Apply product liberally to ensure even penetration and complete coverage of the decking is achieved.

5. When applying to deck boards treat 3-4 boards at a time to avoid lap marks. Ensure the leading edge is distributed evenly. Always work along the grain. For maximum protection apply to all sides and ends of the decking prior to construction.

6. Two coats are recommended allowing 4 hours between coats. A third coat may be applied if a deeper colour is required.

Remove as much product from brush as possible before cleaning. Clean brushes whilst wet with water and detergent. Wipe the tin and lid rim with a clean cloth prior to resealing the pack. Some local authorities have special facilities for disposing of waste coatings. Do not empty into drains or watercourses.
