Decks & porches are the most notorious and most difficult things to keep painted and looking nice at your home! We at the ArmorGarage get hundreds of calls a week from frustrated homeowners seeking solutions for their decks that keep peeling every year! That's why we now offer ArmorDeck! As with all ArmorGarage products we put together what is the best deck paint available.
ArmorDeck paints are "semi transparent" ultra high performance products that protect, seal, and give color to your deck, but won't peel off. The semi-transparency of our paint allows the wood to "breathe" and therefore allows the coating to stay on. These are not your typical Home Improvement Center Deck paints!
Decks should NOT be painted with standard outdoor type paints. These types of deck paints "seal" the wood completely which is the worse thing to do. Wood, like people, needs to "breathe"! The reason for this is that the standing water on the horizontal surfaces and the extensive expansion and contraction of the surfaces cause the paints to crack and peel up from the moisture and temperature changes. Continued re-painting with typical Deck paints will not solve the problem. Only Armor Deck will!
Pressure treated wood is even more notorious for holding coatings. The pressure treatment which is designed to resist weather, also resists most common paints and coatings (they won't tell you this at the home centers as they want you to buy the more expensive woods and then paint every year)!
ArmorDeck is a deck paint specially formulated to work with most pressure treated wood systems.
The only proper way to paint a previously painted deck is to remove any prior paint. To easily remove your deck paint, use our special "DECK STRIPPER" and then power wash or sand to remove any residual paint.
New surfaces and smooth planed wood must be sanded first to remove any 'Mill Glaze'. Weathered wood must be sanded to remove any loose fibers or splintered areas.
Previously stained surfaces should be power washed and sanded.
Seal down any large sticking up "Splinter Wood" with our special "PEEL STOP" Deck Glue which seals down any raised or splintered wood pieces back where they belong!
Then apply ArmorDeck and stop painting every year!
