Optimal Timing for Deck Refinishings
Determining the optimal time for deck refinishings involves considering weather conditions, deck usage, and the type of finish used. Proper timing ensures the longevity and appearance of the deck, preventing damage from environmental factors.
Spring and early summer are optimal due to mild temperatures and low humidity, allowing finishes to cure properly.
Refrain from refinishing during rainy or humid periods, as moisture can interfere with adhesion and drying times.
Typically, decks should be refinished every 2-3 years, depending on wear and exposure to elements.
Ideal temperatures for refinishing range between 50°F and 85°F, with low humidity for best results.
