DECKED OUT AND READY TO GO WITH THE NEW DECKING CARE RANGE FROM CUPRINOL

We're now a nation that loves to live outdoors and as a result the popularity of decking in the garden is growing at a rate of knots. According to the Timber Decking Association, annual sales now stand at £120m, compared to just £5m six years ago. Responding to this boom, Cuprinol has launched a new decking care range to ensure that decked areas can be kept in tiptop condition all year round, providing an area in which to relax, entertain or simply enjoy.

No need for 'all hands on deck'…
Decking is the perfect low-maintenance alternative to a manicured lawn. However, that's not to say it doesn't need a little TLC from time to time. After all, it's an investment worth protecting.

Following on from the launch of Cuprinol Sprayable Fence Treatment, last year, Cuprinol has introduced new Sprayable Decking Treatment. The treatment is the fastest and easiest way to nourish, enhance and protect your deck, ensuring it can withstand anything the weather has to throw at it.

Cuprinol Sprayable Decking Treatment has a lightly tinted formulation, which contains natural oils that penetrate deep into the wood to replace oils and resins lost through weathering.

There's no need for backbreaking bending or kneeling to keep your decking in check; Cuprinol's Sprayable Decking Treatment is fast, easy to apply and has been specially developed to work with the Cuprinol Deck Sprayer. Breakthrough technology allows you to spray accurately and evenly with minimum effort to achieve a beautiful, natural finish in just one coat. The Sprayer allows you to reach all the awkward spaces such as between the slats, without the need for a brush.

Cuprinol's Sprayable Decking Treatment is quick drying and safe for use near plants and pets. When you've finished, the Sprayer is even easy to clean - simply flush it through with water ready for its next use. Cuprinol Sprayable Decking Treatment is available in a choice of three classic colours; Natural Oak, Natural Cedar and Natural Pine.

As good as new…
Decking can become weathered and grey with age, and after its enjoyed a few warm summer months and endured a few harsh winters, it can begin to look tired. The answer is new Cuprinol Decking Restorer - a transparent, fast acting unique formulation gel that transforms weather-beaten decking back to its original glory.

Cuprinol Decking Restorer takes just fifteen minutes to work and is ideal for use prior to Cuprinol Sprayable Decking Treatment.

No slip ups…
As an extension of your home, decking can provide the perfect play area for children. To help prevent youngsters from taking a tumble and occasional slips, Cuprinol has launched Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Treatment.

The treatment helps make decking safer especially when wet by improving slip-resistance. It has a unique, double action formulation that works in two ways. Cuprinol Deck-Grip™ Microbead technology gives a non-abrasive, anti-slip finish , whilst powerful algicides help protect the film from the growth of green algae and mould.

Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Treatment is a clear natural matt coating, which provides a water repellent finish that seals and protects. It's simple to use, only needs one coat and is ideal for preparing decks for the busy summer months. Anti-Slip Decking Treatment can be used in conjunction with other products within Cuprinol's decking care range, providing they've been allowed to weather (see back of pack or call the number below for more details).

For all your decking needs… Cuprinol takes care of it!
