Why Use Deckwise Ipe Oil?
Homeowners and Professional Contractors value the elegance of well-maintained hardwood decks and the sleek surface of hardwood siding. However, safeguarding these surfaces from harmful UV rays and moisture ensures many years of life for patios and exterior siding.
Each hardwood deck owner has made a significant investment in their property, and proper sealing can preserve this investment for years. Ipe Oil® is specially formulated for Ipe, Mahogany, Cumaru, and other exotic hardwoods that can cause drying issues for other brands.
Preparation for Best Results
Before applying Deckwise Ipe Oil stain, use Deckwise Cleaner & Brightener to clean and prepare the wood. For end grains, use End Grain Sealer for added protection.
Key Features of Ipe Oil Hardwood Deck Finish
- Penetrating Stain: Protects wood from within.
- Semi-Transparent Natural Stain: Enhances wood grain without obscuring it.
- UV Protection: Guards against harmful sunlight.
- Mildew-Resistant Formula: Reduces the likelihood of mildew growth.
- One-Coat Application: Simplifies the process for homeowners and professionals.
Why Choose Ipe Oil Over Other Stains?
Unlike traditional coatings that form a surface film, Ipe Oil penetrates deep into the wood grain. It prevents issues like bubbling, cracking, or peeling, which are common with film-forming finishes. For decks and siding that have aged to a silver-gray patina, Ipe Oil can restore their natural beauty without extensive sanding or stripping.
