Treatment and maintenance of wooden decking
Resistant and attractive, wooden decking nevertheless requires regular maintenance. The appearance of wood changes over time: sunlight, weathering and dirt are the 3 main causes of wood ageing. For the renovation and maintenance of outdoor wood, Groupe Berkem has developed a range of professional solutions through its XILIX EXPERT network. The quality of our wood protection formulations guarantees you reliable, long-lasting materials.
Treating a wooden deck : Preparation
Before treating or renovating decking wood, it is essential to prepare the substrate properly so that it can be impregnated. Before application, the wood must be clean and free of any protective coatings or finishes. Our XILIX TERRACE WOOD CLEANER solution thoroughly cleans wooden terraces.
XILIX DÉGRISEUR HYDRO [HYDRO BRIGHTNER], our high-performance, fast-acting woodstain remover, is suitable for all types of wood and can be used to :
- Restoring weathered wood to its former glory
- Eliminate tannin drips and traces of metallic oxidation
- Lightening blackened wood
XILIX DÉGRISEUR HYDRO can be applied with a brush, roller or low-pressure sprayer (the use of a high-pressure cleaner is not recommended to avoid raising the wood fibres).
The choice of performance and durability
Wooden decking needs to be protected from damp, UV rays and temperature variations. XILIX SATURATOR T-HD is a proven effective application product that makes it easy to maintain outdoor wood:
- It provides lasting protection for wood by deeply saturating the fibres
- It delays greying and gives the wood water-repellent properties
- It is rich in anti-UV pigments for long-lasting protection

Formulated in an aqueous phase and ready to use, it is easy to apply and dries quickly. What’s more, XILIX SATURATEUR T-HD won’t flake, peel or flour.
In this way, decking wood is strengthened and can withstand the effects of the weather.
