Best Time for Deck Sealings

Applying sealant at optimal times helps protect and preserve outdoor wood surfaces effectively.

Deck sealings are essential for protecting outdoor wood surfaces from moisture, UV damage, and everyday wear. Proper timing ensures maximum effectiveness and longevity of the sealant, helping to maintain the deck's appearance and structural integrity.

Spring Application

Applying sealant in spring prepares the deck for the upcoming season, protecting it from spring rains and sun exposure.

Summer Considerations

Sealings applied early in summer can shield decks from intense sun and humidity, but should be done during cooler parts of the day.

Fall Preparation

Sealing in fall helps prevent moisture infiltration during winter, especially before the first frost.

Post-Construction Sealing

New decks should be sealed after installation and once the wood has fully dried to prevent early damage.
