Decking oils penetrate into the wood to nourish and replace the natural oils lost through weathering. They’re ideal for new or newly restored decks as they enhance the natural colour and beauty of the wood.

Decking stains give a richer colour to decking, than oil finishes. This makes them perfect for cases where a more opaque colour is preferred. Stains can be used on new or weathered decks.
