Oiling the terrace
Do your deck a favor and oil it regularly – this will ensure a beautiful and durable surface that will withstand the weather and time. Oiling your deck protects the wood from the effects of sun, moisture and wear, extending its lifespan and preserving its original appearance.
The best time to oil a terrace is in spring or early summer, when the temperature is above +5 °C, but the weather is not yet too hot. The best time to oil is on a cloudy and dry day, when the oil is absorbed evenly and does not evaporate too quickly. Oiling in spring protects the terrace from the summer sun, which extends the life of the wood.
If oiling is delayed until midsummer, it is best to do it when the terrace is in the shade. You can also oil in the fall if the terrace is worn or dried out, but the oiling must have time to dry before cold and damp weather so that the oil is properly absorbed into the wood.
