Cracks, dirt and UV fading can wreak havoc on timber decking and other exterior timber features. If you’ve invested time in building a deck, pergola, planter or other structure, you’ll need to seal the surface quickly. The new range of professional-grade Cetol decking oils and timber stain from Sikkens is ideal for sealing decks, cladding, screens and more to maintain their beauty and integrity - and so easy to use they are great for D.I.Y.
Cetol Deck Ultra is an easy-to-use timber stain that doesn’t require a base coat. This cuts down on prep and application times – a bonus whether you’re doing a D.I.Y. job for yourself or working for a client. Cetol Deck Ultra timber stain can be brushed straight onto clean, bare timber to nourish, seal, colour and protect it from the elements, and has a durable satin finish.
Upon application, Cetol Deck Ultra creates a highly translucent film over timber, with slight pigmentation to enhance timber’s natural beauty and help stop fading in the sun.
If you’re after an even more natural look without any sheen, Cetol BL Natural Decking Oil is the only matt-finish, water-based decking oil on the market that can be reapplied after two hours. This ‘barely there’ decking oil is designed to accentuate the visual softness of timber and let its natural aesthetic shine. The oil penetrates deeply into timber to help ward off the effects of the elements, while the quick-drying formula makes application a speedier process.
For the traditionalists, Cetol Premium Timber Oil gets back to basics. This decking oil is not film-forming, meaning that it highlights the natural character of the timber without masking any of its beauty, for a highly elegant result.
1. Prepare the timber with a thorough clean, a light sand and allow to dry completely.
2. Apply light, even coats with a brush along the timber grain.
3. Allow the recommended drying time between coats.
4. Regularly maintain for long-lasting beauty and durability. Dirt is easily washed away with a hose.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
