This treatment is essential to protect the wood from the elements and UV rays, ensuring a vibrant deck for years to come.

SATURATOR

Unlike a stain or varnish , the saturator is not film-forming.

It protects the wood by saturation, impregnating it deep down to the surface, while the stain or varnish protects it by creating an impermeable film on the surface of the wood.

The wood appearance is preserved and there is no risk of blistering or peeling.

Pourquoi rénover une terrasse en bois ?

Why renovate a wooden terrace?

A wooden terrace is constantly exposed to external aggressions, which can affect its appearance, its safety , and its longevity.

Here are the main reasons to invest in a renovation:

1. Restore your natural aesthetics

Wood that has become gray from the weather or stained by organic residue loses its original charm.

A renovation allows you to revive its natural tones or personalize it with a modern finish.

Localized example:

In Saint-Tropez , an ipé wood terrace has regained its shine thanks to sanding followed by an application of tinted saturating oil.

2. Protect the wood against attacks

Moisture , UV rays, and fungi are the main enemies of wood.

Appropriate treatment preserves its structure and protects it against these factors.

3. Augmenter la durée de vie

A well- maintained and regularly renovated deck can last for several decades, avoiding costly replacements.

étape détaillées pour rénover une terrasse en bois

Detailed steps to renovate a wooden terrace

A successful renovation is based on a precise methodology and suitable tools.

Here are the essential steps to restore your terrace:

1. Inspection and initial preparation

Start by inspecting your deck for damaged boards, loose nails or screws, and any signs of mold or mildew.

Actions to be taken:

• Replacement of damaged blades:

Remove cracked or rotten boards and replace them with new wood of the same species.

• Fixing the elements:

Check and tighten screws or replace if necessary.

Trick :

For a raised deck, also inspect the underlying structure for possible stability issues.

2. Thorough cleaning

A craftsman cleans a wooden deck with a pressure washer, removing stains and dirt.

Cleaning is an essential step to eliminate dirt, organic residue , and stubborn stains.

Cleaning methods:

• High pressure jet:

Use a pressure washer with a wide nozzle to avoid damaging the wood.

• Application of degreaser:

This product revives the natural colour of the wood and removes traces of greying.

Localized example:

In Sainte-Maxime , a pine terrace was cleaned with a degreaser followed by a low-pressure rinse, restoring its original color.

3. Sanding for a smooth surface

Sanding smooths the surface, removes splinters, and prepares the wood for treatment.

Necessary equipment:

• An electric sander with medium grit sandpaper (80-120).

• A protective mask to avoid inhaling dust.

Trick :

Work in the direction of the wood grain for a uniform finish.

4. Protective treatment

A roller applies a saturator to a terrace, reinforcing its protection and reviving its hues.

After cleaning and sanding, apply a treatment to protect the wood against UV rays, humidity, and mold.

5. Finishing and maintenance

Once the treatment is applied, allow to dry completely.

Apply a second coat if necessary for added protection.

Trick :

Schedule annual maintenance to extend the life of your deck.
