MPN: TEAKTREAT-5

Barcode: 5060163410899

This advanced wood treatment restores, maintains, and protects teak surfaces exposed to harsh outdoor conditions, particularly for marine applications.

Who This Product Is For

This product is designed for boat owners, marine professionals, and those maintaining teak wood structures in outdoor environments. It suits individuals responsible for the upkeep of teak decks, furniture, and fixtures on yachts, boats, and outdoor living spaces.

The treatment is appropriate for both restoration projects on weathered surfaces and preventative maintenance to prepare wooden structures for seasonal changes, especially winter conditions.

Key Features

• Biological Residue Removal: Tackles black mould and algae to restore the wood’s clean, natural appearance.
• Dual-Purpose Formula: Functions as both a restorative treatment and protective wintering agent.
• Gentle Yet Effective: Works specifically for teak without damaging delicate marine wood surfaces.
• Large 5 Litre Capacity: Provides sufficient quantity for extensive coverage on larger projects.
• Eco-Conscious Design: Minimises environmental impact while delivering reliable results.
• Low Maintenance Upkeep: Reduces the need for frequent cleaning during off-season months.

Key Benefits

• Revives weathered teak decks and restores their natural beauty.
• Prevents algae and mould growth, reducing seasonal cleaning efforts.
• Protects wood from winter greening and long-term deterioration.
• Saves time with an easy-to-use application process.

Practical Applications

This treatment excels in a variety of real-world scenarios:

• Restoring boat decks to their original lustre after prolonged exposure to saltwater and sun.
• Protecting teak furniture, railings, and other wooden fixtures from environmental damage.
• Acting as a seasonal preservative for yacht flooring during harsh winter months.
• Maintaining outdoor wooden surfaces such as garden furniture or fencing for year-round appeal.
• Preparing aged or discoloured wood for further refinishing or sealing efforts.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This treatment is typically applied after thorough cleaning of teak surfaces and before winter storage or seasonal changes. It serves as both a restoration step for weathered wood and a protective measure against environmental damage during periods of reduced maintenance.

The product integrates into a maintenance workflow where it follows initial cleaning, addresses biological residues, and provides ongoing protection that reduces the frequency of future cleaning cycles throughout the off-season.

How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Clean the wood thoroughly, removing any dirt or loose debris with a soft brush or cloth. Ensure the surface is dry before starting.
2. Application:
   • Apply a generous amount of the product evenly across the wood using a soft sponge or brush.
3. Residue Removal:
   • Allow the treatment to penetrate, loosening biological deposits. Gently scrub away black residues that rise to the surface.
4. Restoration Process:
   • For heavily discoloured areas, leave the product to work over several weeks, reapplying as needed for optimal results.
5. Over-Winter Protection:
   • Reapply a light coat before winter to prevent greening and maintain the wood’s appearance throughout the season.
6. Final Rinse:
   • Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after the treatment period to remove the remaining residue.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain product quality.
• Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
• Clean application tools immediately after use to avoid build-up.

For heavy soiling use a dedicated teak cleaner before treatment, such as Wessex Teak Decking Cleaner (Part 1) 5L.
