DON’T Confuse Paint, Stain, and Sealant.
One of the major mistakes people make is using the wrong product for sealing a deck. It's important to understand that paint, stain, and sealant are distinct and have different purposes. While paint covers the wood with a solid color and stain adds a tint to showcase the wood grain, a commercial wood sealant provides a protective layer that shields the wood from moisture and UV damage. Using the wrong product can compromise the deck's durability and appearance. Always opt for a high-quality commercial wood sealant for optimal results.
