Ronseal Fence Life Plus in Slate Matt is engineered for straightforward application and dependable results on your outdoor timber structures. Once applied, it provides a solid, uniform grey colour that effectively masks previous stains or natural wood variations, giving your sheds and fences a refreshed, contemporary appearance. Its fast 1-hour drying time is a significant advantage, allowing you to complete projects swiftly, potentially even applying multiple coats in a single day under optimal conditions. The formulation is designed to penetrate and protect the wood from weathering, offering a durable barrier against rain, sun, and other environmental factors for up to five years. For example, a standard garden shed or a stretch of fence panels can be treated efficiently, benefiting from both the aesthetic enhancement and long-term protection, ensuring your garden features look great and last longer. The Slate Matt finish is particularly effective for creating a modern garden design or complementing contemporary outdoor living spaces.
Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, mould, algae, or loose flakes of old treatment. If necessary, clean the surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.
Stirring: Stir the product well before and during use to ensure the colour is evenly distributed.
Application: Apply evenly with a brush, working along the grain of the wood. For best results, it's often recommended to apply at least two coats, allowing 1 hour between coats. Ensure the ambient temperature is suitable for outdoor painting (typically above 10°C and not in direct scorching sun).
This product is specifically designed for rough sawn and smooth planed sheds and fences. Do not use it on decking or other surfaces where foot traffic is expected, as it may become slippery.
Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Storage: Store any unused product in its original container, sealed tightly, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Maintenance: To maintain the 5-year protection and colour, inspect your treated wood annually and reapply if signs of wear or fading become apparent, especially after severe weather.
