Why Messmer’s UV Plus for Hardwood Decks?
- Enhanced Durability: Messmer’s UV Plus formula penetrates deeply into hardwoods, ensuring long-lasting water repellency and UV protection.
- Matte Finish: Offers a natural matte finish that enhances the wood’s grain without creating a shiny surface.
- One-Coat Application: This easy-to-apply, one-coat finish saves you time and effort while delivering superior results.
- Easy Maintenance: When it's time to recoat, simply clean the surface and apply a fresh coat. No need for sanding or stripping.
Coverage and Application Details:
- Coverage: One gallon covers 250-400 square feet, depending on whether the wood is rough or smooth.
- Application Method: Best applied with a natural bristle brush or 3/8” nap roller for a smooth, even coat. Ensure the wood is clean and dry before applying.
- Drying Time: Allow 24-48 hours for the stain to dry properly. Do not apply if rain is expected within 48 hours to avoid a blotchy finish.
How Long Does Messmer's UV Plus Last?
- On hardwood decks, Messmer’s UV Plus can be expected to last 1-2 years, depending on sunlight exposure and weather conditions. For vertical surfaces like fences or siding, it may last longer, up to 3 years.
Clear vs. Natural Finish:
- Clear Finishes: Clear stains provide no UV protection and may not offer the same level of long-term durability.
- Natural Finish: The Natural option contains Transparent Iron Oxide pigments that help absorb UV rays while allowing light to pass through, ensuring both protection and natural beauty.
Can Messmer's UV Plus Be Applied Over Other Stains?
Yes! Messmer’s UV Plus for Hardwoods can be applied over an existing stain as long as the previous finish has weathered sufficiently to allow for proper penetration. Before reapplying, clean the surface with Wood & Deck Cleaner or sand the wood to ensure proper adhesion.
Water Beading and Performance:
Unlike some other stains that add waxes to create the appearance of water beading, Messmer’s UV Plus focuses on penetrating deeply into the wood. This ensures long-lasting water repellency without interfering with adhesion or creating a slippery surface.
How to Apply Messmer’s UV Plus for Hardwoods:
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the wood with Messmer’s Wood & Deck Cleaner (Part A). Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Allow the surface to dry completely before staining.
- Apply the Stain: Stir the UV Plus thoroughly to ensure the pigments are well-mixed. Apply one coat of the stain using a brush or roller, working with the grain of the wood.
- Remove Excess: After 30 minutes, brush or roll out any excess stain to avoid sticky, shiny spots.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly clean the deck to remove dirt and contaminants.
- Reapply the stain every 1-2 years to maintain protection and enhance the wood’s appearance.
