2.5L Black Ash Anti-Slip Water-Based Decking Stain

This 2.5L Black Ash anti-slip decking stain is a tough, water-based coating designed specifically for external timber surfaces. It provides a rich, semi-transparent finish that allows the natural wood grain to remain visible while adding a deep charcoal tone. The formula is ideal for homeowners and contractors who require a durable protective layer. Because it contains invisible microbeads, it enhances surface grip without altering the aesthetic look of your garden timber.

This stain is highly effective for domestic garden decks, timber boardwalks, and garden pathways. It is also suitable for commercial walkways where slip safety is a priority for public foot traffic. Given the damp British climate, the added algicide helps prevent the unsightly growth of green algae and mould on the film surface. You can apply it to ramps or timber steps that frequently become slippery during wet autumn months. It performs well in high-traffic areas where maintaining a safe, non-slip footing is essential for all users.

Preparation is vital for a long-lasting finish. Start by ensuring the timber is clean, dry, and free from old debris or loose fibres. Use a brush or a roller to apply the liquid evenly across the surface. It is necessary to allow the product to dry completely according to the instructions on the tin. This ensures the invisible anti-slip microbeads bond correctly to the wood grain. Once cured, the coating provides a stable, weather-resistant layer.

This product is supplied in a single 2.5L container. The water-based formula features a double-action system that combines a semi-transparent Black Ash colour with integrated anti-slip technology. It includes an algicide to protect the timber from mould and algae growth throughout the seasons. This 2.5L tin provides enough coverage for medium-sized residential decking areas or several linear metres of garden pathways.
