United Gilsonite Laboratory introduced NuDECK, a coating designed to renew damaged concrete and wood decking surfaces, at World of Concrete 2015.
In many cases, the structure of a deck and patio are in very sound condition, but the surface appearance makes homeowners want to replace the substrate completely. This choice is not economical or environmentally friendly, but homeowners may not realize that replacement is not always necessary.
When repair makes sense, United Gilsonite Laboratory’s new coating is designed to give new life to those tired surfaces. UGL NuDECK Wood and Concrete Restorative Coating extends the life of a deck and patio with a paintable solution. From the can it creates a new, slip-resistant surface for decks, walkways and patios. The tintable color palette coordinates with UGL ZAR Solid Color Deck and Siding Stain to compliment the color of surrounding vertical surfaces such as siding, railings, posts and walls.
NuDECK has advantages, including that the coating is 10 times thicker than paint or stain. It fills 1/4-inch cracks and nail holes, locks down splinters and creates a slip-resistant surface. One tint achieves 30 colors and one product can be used on both wood and concrete decking.
NuDECK resists oil and grease spots and provides excellent chemical resistance to standard household chemicals. The coating is based on elastomeric technology for superior expansion and contraction to help prevent pealing and cracking. No special applicators are needed. It is extremely low odor (VOC less than 100 grams per liter), offers excellent abrasion resistance (testing done by CRGI Test Method 84) and passed five cycles of freeze-thaw testing per ASTM D2243.
The surface prep for this product is the same for any floor paint or deck stain. It is easy to apply with a brush or roller and easy to clean up with soap and water.
