Why
does my deck need to be cleaned, and why does it
need protection?
The
forces of weather can be devastating to wood. The
Suns ultra violet rays can damage the wood fibers.
Rain, snow, and morning dew quickly absorbed by
unprotected wood, causing it to swell and cup. When
the sun's heat dries the wood it shrinks. These
cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking Cause
wood to warp, split, crack, becoming discolored and
unattractive. Cleaning will remove the discoloration
and prepare and clean surface for the stain or
sealer. The sealer or stain will provided a
protective coating to extend the life or your
investment. |
