Many homes have decking as a useful addition to their gardens made of treated timber.

Without protection wood rapidly deteriorates from the following elements:

Water: Water is absorbed into the wood and washes out the natural wood resins and colour. Freezing/thaw cycles can splinter and crack the wood, also water promotes algae/mould and mildew growth.

Sunlight, ultra violet (UV) rays bleaches the wood fibres and breaks down the cell structure.

Mould, Mildew, Algae and Fungus: wood and moisture are a natural food source for mould, mildew, algae and fungus. This generally causes a black, green or grey discolouration.

Contamination: Contamination comes in the form of food, dirt, atmospheric pollution, etc, This is a good food source for mould, mildew, algae and fungus.

The slime created by the fungus and other contaminants can make the decking a hazardous area.

The decking can become very slippery and dangerous especially to children and older people.
