The timeless raw beauty of the natural look comes at a cost.
And that cost is fungus.
It’s par for the course when it comes to working with natural products but that does not mean it will not survive the elements or become unsafe. With a little TLC you can keep your deck looking fresh and healthy all year round.
If treated every 2 – 3 years your deck will have a long and prosperous life and it really doesn’t take very long to be treated by professionals.
Firstly the deck will need to be sprayed down with a high-pressure water jet. This will get rid of a large portion of fungus but by no means does it stop there. Because fungus can grow from the tiniest of spores an antibacterial treatment is applied next to really get into all the nooks and crannies. After this a treatment of oxalic acid is applied which will bleach the wood and get it to an even colour. And lastly the deck will be finished with an expertly done sanding.
This whole process ensures that not only are all the spores eliminated but your deck is also given a quick facelift to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
