Evansville, IN - Many people take great pride in their properties, and because of this, they strive to maintain good-looking exterior surfaces and structures. A few examples of these include fences, decks, driveways, and patios. It can be a lot of work to keep these structures clean, but it can be accomplished through practices such as pressure washing. However, these structures can be made even more beautiful—as well as longer-lasting—with staining and sealing services. Spall’s Power Washing, an experienced provider of both of these services, explains how they work below.
Staining Fences, Decks, and Other Wooden Structures
As versatile as wooden structures can be, they may seem plain or drab to property owners. Because of this, they may consider using wood stain to transform the appearance of these structures. The process of staining wood is remarkably simple. Using a stain brush, a thin layer of liquid stain is applied to the wood. As this substance is absorbed by the wood, it quickly changes its appearance, making its color much more vibrant and eye-catching.
Wooden structures that have been stained are not only visually appealing. They are also more resilient to organic debris. Moss spores, for example, are less likely to sprout on wood that has been stained. This is because wood stain seeps into the wood and blocks the passage of moisture into the structure. This makes the wood less hospitable to organic growth.
Staining Driveways, Patios, and Concrete Structures
Just as wooden structures can be stained, so can structures made of concrete. Of course, the substance used to accomplish this is different, but it works just about the same way. After brushing the liquid stain onto the driveway, patio, or other concrete structure, it will rapidly morph into something that appears brand new. Stained concrete almost looks like marble, giving it a drastically improved appearance that residential and commercial property owners will both appreciate. Other concrete structures that can be stained include front walks, parking lots, concrete decks, and garage floors.
Sealing Surfaces to Protect Them From Damage
Property owners may want to consider sealing their concrete surfaces, as well as surfaces made out of pavers, to help shield them from harm. Sealant, like stain, begins as a liquid substance that is brushed upon the surface. After a thin layer is applied, the sealant must be left alone so it can dry over the course of the next day or two. For this reason, it is important to make sure there is a plan to avoid using the surface. For instance, cars should be parked somewhere else if a driveway is being sealed.
After the sealant has dried, it forms an “invisible barrier” that shields the surface from various sources of damage, including moisture damage and friction damage. Sealant lasts for a long time and typically serves its purpose for three to five years before resealing is necessary.
