1. Reasons for surface treatment

Over time, the surface of outdoor Composite deck may suffer from wear, fading, scratches and other problems, affecting the appearance and service life. Through manual surface treatment, the dirt and wear layer on the surface can be removed to make the floor look brand new.

2. Surface treatment methods

(1) Cleaning

Before sanding, the Composite deck must be thoroughly cleaned. Use a broom to sweep away dust and debris on the floor, then use a mop to apply an appropriate amount of detergent and wipe the floor. The detergent can be a neutral detergent or a special Composite deck cleaner.

(2) Sanding

After the floor is dry, you can use ordinary sandpaper or a handheld sanding device to sand the Composite deck surface. When sanding, pay attention to the strength to avoid excessive sanding that may damage the floor surface. The following are the specific steps for sanding:

① Use 120-grit sandpaper to coarsely sand the floor surface to remove the wear layer and dirt.

② Replace with 240-grit sandpaper and fine-grit the floor to make the surface smoother.

③ If necessary, use sandpaper with a higher grit for further sanding until a satisfactory effect is achieved.

(3) Maintenance

After sanding, use a clean cloth to dip in an appropriate amount of maintenance oil and wipe the floor. Maintenance oil can protect the floor surface and extend its service life. After the maintenance oil is completely penetrated, wipe it clean with clean water to ensure that there is no oil on the floor surface.

III. Precautions

1. During the sanding process, be sure to wear protective glasses and masks to avoid dust and sawdust generated by sanding from causing damage to the eyes and respiratory tract.

2. When sanding, try to avoid humid weather to avoid affecting the sanding effect.

3. The amount of maintenance oil used should be appropriate according to the actual situation. Too much may cause the floor surface to be greasy.

4. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the Composite deck can extend the service life of the floor.

IV. Conclusion

Through manual surface treatment, the outdoor Composite deck can be renewed and re-exhibit its beautiful texture. Mastering the correct treatment method can not only improve the beauty of the floor, but also extend its service life.
