BOKSBURG

• Protect decks and timber from Ekurhuleni UV and Highveld moisture
• Penetrating stains only - film-forming varnishes fail in Boksburg humidity

Why Wood Absolutely Needs to Be Stained and Properly Sealed

• Untreated wood dries out fast in the Ekurhuleni sun and cracks - UV rays destroy bare wood within one season
• Ekurhuleni's Highveld climate is harsh on bare wood - it needs proper protection to survive
• Wood that gets wet and dries repeatedly warps, splits, and starts to rot within just a few years
• Staining and varnishing keeps wood looking rich, warm, and beautiful for many years to come
• It is far cheaper to restain wood every few years than to replace rotted or cracked timber
• Stained wood is much easier to clean and resists dirt, mould, and Ekurhuleni mildew much better

Signs Your Wood Surfaces Need Staining or Resealing

• The wood is turning grey - UV rays are breaking down the surface fibres without protection
• Cracks are appearing in the wood - it has dried out and needs feeding and protection
• Water no longer beads on the surface - the sealer has failed and the wood is absorbing moisture
• The wood feels rough and splintery rather than smooth - the surface fibres have opened up
• Existing stain is peeling, flaking, or wearing off in patches
• The colour has faded significantly and the wood looks dull and tired
• You can see the beginning of mould or black staining - early-stage biological attack on unprotected wood

Our Wood Staining Process - Done Properly Every Time

• Step 1: We sand the wood to remove old stain, peeling varnish, and rough spots - bare wood takes stain best
• Step 2: We clean the wood thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before applying anything at all
• Step 3: We apply a wood conditioner or primer to ensure even, consistent absorption of the stain
• Step 4: We apply the stain in long, even strokes following the natural wood grain for a beautiful look
• Step 5: We apply 2 to 3 coats of varnish or clear penetrating sealer for maximum long-term protection
• Step 6: A final light sanding between coats produces a silky smooth, completely professional finish

Wood Staining and Sealing Tips for Boksburg Climate

• In Boksburg climate, Exterior Painting wood should be inspected annually and restained every 1 to 2 years - the UV and Boksburg humidity and UV are very hard on wood finishes
• Always sand with the grain, never across it - cross-grain sanding creates permanent scratches that are visible through stain
• Apply stain in the direction of the wood grain - this allows the product to penetrate evenly and follow the natural flow of the timber
• Never apply stain to wet or damp wood - the product cannot penetrate properly and will not bond
• Hardwoods like teak need special teak oil or a penetrating oil treatment rather than film-forming stain - they are naturally oily and film formers peel
• Protect freshly stained decks with furniture covers for at least 72 hours after application - foot traffic and furniture dents will damage the soft new coating
