The right care product
decking boards and wooden tiles turn gray outdoors and are exposed to the risk of fungal, moss, algae and mold infestation. The right care for wooden decking helps against this. At Betterwood you will find a colorless decking oil specially formulated for our wood types with decking oil with UV protection that preserves the wood color longer and prevents fungal infestation. The colorless wood protection has no visual impact on the decking boards and wooden tiles, unlike the colorless decking oil. However, it has a particularly effective wood protection and penetrates deep into the decking boards to prevent algae infestation.

Cleaning instructionsFrequently asked questions (FAQ)
How do you care for wood properly so that it lasts a long time?
Wood should be cleaned and cared for regularly. Remove dirt and dust with a soft cloth or broom. Use special wood care products such as oils or waxes to protect the surface and extend its service life.
Which oil is best for wood care?
Natural oils such as linseed oil, teak oil or special wood oils are suitable for wood care. These penetrate deep into the wood, protect against moisture and emphasize the natural grain.
How often should wood be oiled or varnished?
Wood should be oiled or varnished about 1-2 times a year, depending on wear and weather conditions. More frequent maintenance may be necessary for heavily used surfaces.
Which is better for wood care: oil, wax or varnish?
Oil: Penetrates deeply, protects against moisture and preserves the natural look.
Wax: Provides an additional protective layer, but is more suitable for indoor areas.
Lacquer: Forms a robust protective layer, but is less breathable and can flake off if damaged.
Oil is usually the best choice for outdoor areas.
How do you protect wood from moisture and UV radiation?
Use UV-resistant wood oils or glazes that form a protective film. Regular maintenance and the use of covers or canopies can also help to protect the wood from the weather.
