Construction Suggestions

Download guides ->
Before final coating work, verify substrate condition, environment, compatibility, and the latest TDS.
  • Define anti-slip grade before coating system selection.
  • Remove oil, salt, rust, and loose coating before primer.
  • Use compatible primer and topcoat; do not mix systems without confirmation.
  • For working decks, inspect wear zones and plan touch-up maintenance intervals.

Does deck coating always need anti-slip aggregate?

Not always. Working decks often need anti-slip design, while fittings or visible steel may prioritize weathering and appearance.

Should I use alkyd or polyurethane on deck areas?

Use alkyd for economical maintenance repaint; use polyurethane where better exterior appearance and weathering resistance are required.

Can deck coating be applied over old paint?

Only after adhesion, compatibility, cleaning, sanding, and damaged-area repair are confirmed.
