Do I need to stain Ipe decking?

• <div><p>No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/deck-staining/">deck staining specialist near you</a> to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature. </p></div>

Q: How do specialists ensure the longevity of deck repairs?

• <div><p>By applying protective finishes and using durable materials that withstand weather and time.</p></div>

Q: Will painting a composite decking prevent warping?

• <div><p>The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best. </p></div>

Q: What paint will stick to composite decking?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won&rsquo;t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove all the old paint before repainting a deck?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it&rsquo;s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with. </p></div>
