Deck Restoration, Cleaning, Sealing and Rejuvenation in Melbourne
Timber Decking
Currently the majority of decking we service in Melbourne is, Merbau (an imported hardwood timber), Spotted Gum, Iron Bark, and Black Butt with the occasional Southern Mahogany and Yellow Stringy Bark (all hardwoods native to Australia). All these timbers have different properties and therefore require slightly different approaches to creating the best end result. The Australian native timbers used for decking tend to be more dense and waxy to touch. They tend to leach less Tannins than Imported Merbau but can be susceptible to mold if not treated correctly to start with.
Patio & Paving
Concrete tiles, Natural stone and the varying concrete styles used for Patios, Pool surrounds, Out-door areas and Driveways all require a different approach. Sandstone is far more porous and softer than a denser Bluestone and will respond differently to cleaning. The key to keeping these areas at their best is making sure they are professionally sealed to begin with so as to restrict any stains from embedding themselves into the material and becoming virtually impossible to remove. Although Deck Tech specialises in timber surfaces, we can also offer a cleaning and sealing service to your Stone and Concrete areas which are often susceptible to moss, lichen and dirt build up over time and especially in shaded or less free draining areas.
Fence & Screening
These areas are dealt with in a similar manner to Timber Decking. The main difference is that they are more often than not vertical and can be more difficult to deal with. Deck Tech has access to the latest products to give you a longer lasting and more durable finish.
