Fact: All Exterior Wood Needs Protection From Outdoor Weather!
Why? Because the damaging effects of outdoor weather on exposed, unprotected wood begins IMMEDIATELY and lasts forever. Thus the need for deck cleaning and restoration.
The day you finish installing a deck or other wood structures, is the day trouble can start. Morning dew, rainwater and melting ice and snow are quickly absorbed by unprotected wood, causing it to soften and swell.
Direct exposure to the sun’s heat causes drying, which makes wood shrink. Continuous cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking, cause wood to warp, split and crack, all of which lead to premature wood degradation and expensive repairs.
