APPLICATION
The instructions below offer general application guidelines for exterior timber. For larger projects, cladding, interior, commercial jobs, or for more specific information, please contact our Help & Advice team on 1800 630 285.
1. Remove excess water from the surface and allow the timber to dry for at least 1 hour before coating. Stir
Intergrain UltraDeck Timber Stain
thoroughly before and during use with a flat blade stirrer.
2. It is recommended to test in a small area to ensure satisfaction with the color and finish prior to staining the whole project. Ensure to apply 2-3 coats for the best indication of final color.
3. Apply
Intergrain UltraDeck Timber Stain
using the
Intergrain DeckBrush
(recommended), flat deck applicator, paint brush, or spray (air-assisted airless or airless). Do not use a roller. Apply at the coverage rate of 6-12m²/L. Do not overspread or apply thinly as insufficient film thickness will result in lap marks and compromise performance and durability. When coating large areas, work in sections, apply long strokes, and use natural breaks in the boards as stopping points. If spraying, it is recommended to back brush to even out the finish and avoid spotting.
4. Allow to dry for at least 2 hours then apply a second coat. If necessary, sand lightly between coats to remove any raised grain.
5. A third coat will give extra protection and is required in harsh conditions such as full sun exposure, around pools, and in humid areas or if the first coat was applied on damp or porous timber.
Important: All timber is required to be free from dust, mould, and site contaminants prior to coating. Follow all relevant product label instructions when using
Intergrain
products. Keep freshly coated contacting surfaces such as doors and windows ajar for several days to prevent sticking.

– Conduct a routine 12-monthly maintenance inspection. Color fade is the first sign of the need to recoat.- Best protection of the timber and ease of maintenance is ensured if
Intergrain UltraDeck Timber Stain
is recoated before deterioration of the coating and timber underneath occurs.To refresh timber with significant signs of weathering, greying, or mould, prepare the surface as per the directions under
