Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain in Country Cedar, 5 Litre

Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain is a specialised wood treatment designed to protect and enhance exterior decking while improving safety. It provides a rich, semi-transparent colour that allows the natural grain of the wood to show through, combined with a tough, durable finish that withstands weather exposure. The formulation is water-based, making it easier to apply and clean up compared to solvent-based alternatives, while also being more environmentally friendly. The product's key feature is its unique double-action formulation. It contains invisible anti-slip microbeads that become embedded in the coating, creating a textured surface that significantly improves grip underfoot, making treated decking safer than untreated wood, especially when wet. Additionally, it includes an algicide that helps protect the film surface from green algae and mould growth, which can cause unsightly staining and slippery conditions. This combination provides long-lasting weather protection, helping to extend the life of wooden decking by shielding it from moisture and UV damage. This stain is ideal for treating softwood decking and is suitable for all decking applications. The drying time typically ranges from 2 to 6 hours, depending on surface conditions and weather. It offers a coverage of approximately 8 square metres per litre, meaning the 5-litre tin should cover around 40 square metres with one coat. Homeowners looking to refresh their garden decking while adding an important safety feature will find this product particularly useful. It provides both aesthetic enhancement and practical protection in a single application.
