Clean exterior wood surfaces in early spring
By the end of winter, a green film can develop on an untreated wooden deck. We advise customers to maintain their deck annually using Rubio Monocoat Exterior Wood Cleaner. This maintenance product cleans wood thoroughly and can be used to remove any green build-up that has accumulated. It can also remove the stains that sometimes develop on wood cladding in areas of high particulate emissions, such as close to busy roads.
A protective coat of oil to freshen up oiled wood
Maintain oiled wood by applying a single coat of Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector. This unique maintenance oil dries quickly with no spotting, and is highly efficient in use. It is ideal for freshening up dull-looking oiled wood: just one layer is enough to provide lasting protection and restore colour. What’s more, it is an environmentally responsible product that really contains 0% VOC. This means that no hazardous substances evaporate into the air after applying oil. Depending on weather conditions and colour, oiled wood exterior cladding will require only a single maintenance coat every three to five years. Please note: it is essential to pre-clean wood using RMC Exterior Wood Cleaner before applying RMC Hybrid Wood Protector.
Spring is the perfect time for this kind of maintenance. The wood and finish react best to mild temperatures and dry conditions: not too hot, not too cold, not too humid. So these are the best conditions for achieving an attractive and long-lasting result
How to maintain wood
- Step 1 – Clean
Remove dirt and green mould or algae easily with RMC Exterior Wood Cleaner.
- Step 2 – Treat
Apply a fresh coat of RMC Hybrid Wood Protector in the colour of your choice. For more intense colour, use RMC Sunprimer HWP to pre-treat wood after cleaning.
Sealer for the maintenance of burnt wood
Regular maintenance using a suitable sealer is needed to best preserve charred wood’s appearance and the protection it provides. For this, we recommend Wood Hydro Shield SSB in black matte. This water-based matte coating seals the charred layer, fills the open pores of the burnt wood and improves the wood’s water resistance and durability. Delicately remove dust from the surface before treatment. Next, apply the sealer, ideally by spraying so as not to touch the delicate surface during the treatment, or you can use a soft-bristled brush. The number of coats depends on the charred wood’s absorption capacity. When using outdoors, applying a second coat as soon as the first coat is dry is strongly recommended. Always follow the instructions for use.
Restore the natural beauty of your wood cladding or deck
Could your wooden deck could a deep clean, or you would like to give your timber cladding or wooden gate a new look? Our wood experts would be delighted to guide you through the various options available. Thanks to the circular design of our QuickClip® profiles, the wooden boards can be easily unclipped, smartened up and then put back in place. So you can give them a complete makeover while reusing as many boards as possible.
For example, weathered cladding can be given a new look by using a black-coloured treatment, without having to replace the boards. A sustainable solution that encourages re-use and prolongs the life of your timber.
