Our Decking & Balustrade Paint is a tough, hard-wearing satin polyurethane resin paint designed to both seal and colour exterior timber. Perfect for decking boards, wooden balustrades, staircases, and fencing, this one-pack paint offers excellent protection and a beautiful decorative finish. It is suitable for ribbed, grooved, and smooth timber surfaces, making it highly versatile for all types of decking and outdoor woodwork.
Available in BS4800, BS381C, and RAL colour shades, it provides long-lasting durability, weather resistance, and enhanced protection against everyday wear and tear. For those looking for added safety, we also recommend our Timber Decking Non-Slip Paint for an anti-slip finish on garden decking.
Can I Paint Tanalised Wood?
Yes! Painting tanalised wood is a great way to enhance the look of your garden while adding extra protection. However, freshly treated wood must first be sealed with a suitable preservative, and care should be taken to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on drying times before applying paint.

Nothing
Peter Bartholomew | Leicester | May 2022
I live in France and ordered this paint and a friend delivered it to me. I had previously spent the equivalent of £700 on a french branded paint for my decking and within two years it has all but come off! So it all had to be done again, all 80sqm of it! I am so impressed with the first coat, which is a preparatory coat to take the non-slip paint. I jet washed the decking, let it dry for a few days and applied one coat thinned down, as instructed has completely covered the deck. So now onto the second coat of the non slip! The Duck Egg colour is so fresh and true. I am super impressed thus far so lets hope that it is still there in two years time!
