Q and A
- What do you sand? Top of railings, floor, benches, stairs
- What is different about your system? Most pressure washing companies will not sand because they do not have the expertise or the equipment. If they do they will use a drum sander. A drum sander can cause permanent damage to the wood if it is used by an inexperienced person because the sander tears into anything it touches. Because decking is uneven you will typically get an uneven sanding and discolored results. Our system uses patented carbide brushes that scrub the crevices in the wood to remove the loose soft fibers. The sander will only take what the wood will give. There may be more debris on a older dry deck but also may be very little debris on a newer denser deck. Regardless the results, resulting in clean lines, smooth service and beautiful "like new" appearance.
- How often does my deck need to be sanded? About every 5 years
- Cost savings - Stains will last and look better longer, resulting in less repairs long-term and less maintenance expenses
- What are hard and soft fibers? The dark and light grain in your decking, the dark is hard fibers, the lighter are soft fibers. Soft fibers that are aged and possibly neglected will cause the deck to look old, dry weathered
- Why will my deck stain or seal look better because of sanding? Deck Stain adheres to what ever deck material it is on, as wood ages soft fibers loosen and deteriorate causing rough appearance and dry look, by removing soft fibers the appearance is restored thus allowing the stain to penetrate and protect the healthiest part of your deck. Safe for Pressure treated pine, redwood, cedar and exotic hardwoods
