And how do you achieve the prettiest and most lasting result? Contact MalerOslo today so that we can help you with good advice and a non-binding offer to have the job professionally carried out by painters with extensive experience.
Is painting the terrace always the best?
Painting is a covering treatment that settles on the surface of the wood, so that much of the visible wood structure is lost. Many people want a more transparent solution that gives a more natural look, which oil and stain are much better at than paint.In addition, a patio floor is more subject to wear and tear than a house wall, so it is wise to choose a treatment that penetrates well into the wood, just as oil and stain do .
Apply oil or stain the terrace?
The biggest difference between oil and stain is related to how often you need to do maintenance and the appearance of the wood, in other words how often you need to apply oil or stain the terrace.
Oil has a shorter shelf life than stain. With oil treatment, you have to apply new layers every season to protect the wood optimally. In return, oil penetrates the wood better and gives a completely different natural glow compared to stains that use color pigments.
If maintenance of the terrace is something you would rather avoid, you should not choose oil. Then staining the terrace is a better choice. The most common types of staining last between 2 -4 years and penetrates well into the wood. With stain you also have many more color options than there are for oil, and color selection is often important when treating the terrace.
How do I get the best possible result by staining the terrace?
Working with stain requires focus to achieve an even result. Stain contains color pigments that are important to get evenly distributed. The color in the stain provides protection to the wood, on in the same way that a high sun factor protects our skin. This ensures a nice and lasting result that prevents future decay.
