Woodcare this Winter

Weather the winter with top tips from the woodcare people, Ronseal .

With the onset of wintry weather just months away, leading woodcare manufacturer Ronseal are urging people to act now in order to protect their homes and gardens from the elements.

Just a few simple steps and some carefully chosen products are all it takes to ensure that both interior and exterior woods are fully protected and ready for whatever the weather has in store.

1. Protect wooden garden furniture against cracking, splitting and discolouring with a long lasting, protective stain such as Ronseal’s Hardwood Furniture Stain. This will protect the wood against the elements and also offers a three-year guarantee, meaning next year you can just sit back, relax and let Ronseal do the work!

2. Decking areas are one of the most vulnerable in the garden. Exposed throughout the winter months, decking has to be able to cope with all manner of weather conditions so it’s important to prepare it well. Ronseal’s Perfect Finish High Traffic Decking Stain is waterproof so it protects against rain, frost damage, cracking and peeling. The advanced formulation also protects against knocks, scuffs and scratches whilst the UV filters prevent greying and maintain colour for longer.

3. The winter months are notorious for being grey and bleak so why not protect your garden wood with a product that will also add a splash of colour. Ronseal Woodland Trust Colours are a range of wood stains suitable for use on all types of garden wood including furniture, fences and sheds. Available in eight natural tones, including Bluebell (blue), Fern (green) and Bramble (red), each colour is wax enriched and offers up to three years of protection.

4. Ronseal’s One Coat Sprayable Fencelife provides an easy and convenient way to combat fence rot and water decay brought on by winter climates. With its wax enriched formula it protects your fences from the effects of the weather, whilst advanced resins and light-fast pigments ensure superb coverage in just one coat. What’s more, when applied using a Ronseal Power Sprayer, your treatment time is shaved to just two minutes per panel. Perfect for when the nights are closing in!

5. Prepare exterior doors, window frames and cladding for winter with Ronseal 5 Year Woodstain. Available in a choice of eight colours, this easy to apply stain is rainproof in just one hour and delivers five years of protection. Highly water repellent, it also resists cracking and peeling and, when the summer eventually arrives, it will protect your timber from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Top tip: Ensure you treat the top, bottom and sides of doors to keep moisture out and prevent bowing and warping.

6. Autumn and winter are also the best times of the year for doing those interior jobs that you didn’t get round to doing during the summer. Ronseal Perfect Finish Varnish is the easiest way to achieve beautiful interior wood and comes with a Perfect Finish pad and can be used on either large flat surfaces or small intricate areas. The unique varnish pad deliver a super smooth finishfree from brush marks, ensuring that you always get a perfect finish. Ronseal Perfect Floor Varnish is also available for areas of flooring.
