• Surface Prep: Clean thoroughly, removing dirt, algae, or old finishes. Lightly sand if needed.
• Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush, ensuring the product reaches deep into the grooves of the decking. Avoid pooling or applying overly thick coats.
• Drying/Curing: Wait 6 hours before re-coating or light foot traffic; follow datasheet recommendations.
• Maintenance: Wash periodically with mild detergent; reapply if slip resistance diminishes over time.
• Pro Tip: Test a small, inconspicuous area first if the wood is heavily stained or has multiple old coatings.

Safety data sheet
Technical data sheet

1. What is Coo-Var Suredeck® used for?

Coo-Var Suredeck® is a water-based, UV-resistant anti-slip coating designed to protect and enhance timber decking. It reduces the risk of slips, especially on damp or weathered wood, while retaining the deck’s natural appearance.

2. Does this paint alter the look of the wood?

Suredeck® provides a clear, low-sheen finish that preserves the natural beauty of the timber. It won’t mask the wood grain but instead adds a protective, anti-slip layer.

3. Is it suitable for outdoor use all year round?

Yes. The UV-resistant formulation defends against fading and sun damage, making it ideal for year-round outdoor conditions. It helps keep decks safer in wet or dry weather.

4. How do I apply Coo-Var Suredeck®?

You can apply it with a brush or a short pile roller. Ensure the decking is clean, dry, and free from debris. Follow the recommended drying time of around 6 hours before applying a second coat if needed.

5. How effective is the anti-slip feature?

With a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) over 35, Suredeck® significantly reduces slip risk under both wet and dry conditions, making outdoor spaces safer for foot traffic.

6. Can I use this on older or damp timber?

Yes, Suredeck® is designed to adhere well even on aged or slightly damp wood. However, surfaces should be as clean and dry as possible to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish.

7. What coverage can I expect?

Coverage is approximately 8–10 m² per litre, depending on the timber’s condition and porosity. Applying thin, even coats helps achieve consistent protection.
