A. Although anti-slip decking stains will indeed reduce the potential for slipping, as compared to a standard decking stain or treatment, as far as we are aware, there is no such thing as a non-slip decking stain. For decking already laid and in situ, it is recommended that the boards are first treated with a mould and mildew cleaner and then left to dry for a period of a week in warm, dry conditions to allow any moisture in the wood to evaporate. To maintain the surface finish and its anti-slip properties, re-apply a fresh coat of Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain when the surface starts to show signs of wear, following the Preparation and Application instructions above. With the current weather (rain, rain and more rain) the decking has been walked on with no slipping so the anti slip is effective. The final finish on the wood can also be influenced by the type and colour of the timber being treated.
