This summer, you may notice a raised layer on top of your outdoor decking. These fibers can lead to splinters as they dry out. Professional floor sanding the deck surface prepares it for your choice of commercial deck stain. Wood decks are stained to protect them from sun and moisture damage. To prevent weather damage like splits or cracks, the homeowner should use an oil-based stain formulated to help preserve wood and keep it from drying out. When your deck is sanded and stained, it is ready for barefoot summer fun.
