The Process of Deck Waterproof Coating

Knowing how to apply a waterproof barrier as a preventative measure against corrosion and decay can not be understated. Too often, the contractors at OC Fiberglass have been called out to do an estimate only to find a deck that has not been maintained and is severely damaged. To prevent costly repairs in the future, it is vital that a homeowner make sure that their deck has undergone the correct waterproofing process. Even if a hydrophobic coating has been added, if not properly applied, the layer will not be able to protect your deck from saltwater and ocean mist. Without adequate protection against the elements, your deck will soon fall victim to the corrosive effects of salt.

The deck coating process should be undertaken after an area has been thoroughly prepared and cleaned. These steps should be followed prior to the application of a waterproof coating:

Once these preparations have been completed, the deck is now ready for the coating process. 

The deck waterproofing process can be complicated. Here we will explain some of the basic steps on how OC Fiberglass will waterproof your deck and create a hydrophobic barrier of protection.

The Proper Process to Waterproof a Deck

Now the deck is ready for the application of a waterproof coating. The waterproofing process for all decks includes the application of a sealer.

Finding the correct sealer is vital to the long-term integrity of your deck. If you own a beach house or your home is near the ocean, a waterproof coating will offer the best protection against the weathering effects of shore life.

The deck sealing process may seem intimidating, but with OC Fiberglass performing the work, proper care and attention will be paid to the application process. The lifespan of your outdoor escape will be extended by our proven waterproofing technique.
