Deck stains from Leaside Paint Centre—Benjamin Moore
Sunday, July 6, 2008
Summer is all about outdoor living. Refresh your outdoor view with exciting new colours and deck stains from Benjamin Moore. Leaside Paint Centre, your local Benjamin Moore dealer, has all the tools and advice you’ll need, to ensure a job well done.
They’ll help you choose the best products for the project—depending on the surface—walls, trim, doors, porch and floors—and the finish—soft, high gloss or matte.
For all painting and staining projects, preparation is key. A smooth surface free of nails and cracks is essential. Clean surfaces of mildew, dust and dirt. Sand glossy surfaces to ensure proper paint adhesion. Spot prime areas as needed. Use the proper tools and techniques for the type of paint you are using, and save the trim for last.
For decks, Benjamin Moore has a wide range of stains and paints from which to choose. Stain opacity levels range from clear finishes to solid. The more pigment in the stain, the more opaque the coverage will be. Transparent, Semi Transparent, and Semi Solid stains are designed to protect while still allowing the wood’s texture to show through.
For colour choice consider the colour of your roof, siding, trim and foundation. When choosing your colour, remember that the natural colour or grain pattern of the wood can greatly influence the final result, so spot checking is important.
Benjamin Moore built their reputation on quality paints and products famous for long-lasting beauty. If you don’t have the time or inclination to do the work yourself, Leaside Paint Centre has approved professional contractors to do the job for you.
Whether you do-it-yourself, or hire a professional, you’ll be sure to enjoy the beautiful results all summer long.
