—
EVODEK has released an in-depth guide for homeowners interested in painting composite decking. This comprehensive guide provides clear instructions on preparing and painting uncapped composite decking, offering a practical solution for those looking to refresh the look of their outdoor spaces.
The guide begins with essential information on what to know before starting the painting process. It emphasizes the importance of inspecting the decking boards to determine if they are suitable for painting. Modern composite decking often comes with a polymer cap that protects against weathering and rot, making painting unnecessary. However, older composite materials without this cap may benefit from a fresh coat of paint.
The first step in the process is thoroughly cleaning the deck. All furniture and trim should be removed, and the deck surface must be cleared of debris. Special attention should be paid to the gaps between the deck boards, ensuring that all leaves and dirt are removed. The deck should then be scrubbed with an appropriate cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions, and allowed to dry completely.
Once the deck is clean and dry, the next step is sanding the boards. Sanding creates a rougher texture, allowing the paint to adhere better. This step should be approached with caution, as it may affect the existing texture or non-slip coating of the deck. After sanding, all dust and debris must be thoroughly removed from the surface.
Applying primer is the next step, although it is not always necessary depending on the type of paint used. The guide recommends consulting the paint manufacturer to decide whether primer is required. If primer is used, it should be applied evenly with a brush to all crevices and cracks, followed by a roller for the main surface. The primer should be allowed to dry completely according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
With the deck prepped, painting can begin. An even coat of paint should be applied using a roller, with a brush used for detail work. A second coat may be necessary for full coverage. The paint must be allowed to dry completely before any deck furniture is replaced.
The final step involves sealing the paint, which can enhance durability and reduce maintenance needs. While not always required, a sealer can slow down the wear and tear of the paint, extending the time between repaints. Consultation with the paint manufacturer is recommended to select an appropriate sealer.
The guide also addresses the benefits of using modern capped composite decking, which eliminates the need for painting and reduces overall maintenance. These materials are designed to resist fading, UV damage, and water infiltration, providing a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing outdoor surface.
