The mistake we see all the time
Most Deck Finishes Don’t Fail Because Of The Oil
Most failures start before the oil or coating goes on. If old coating, dirt, grey fibres, mould, tannins or weather damage are still sitting in the timber, the new finish cannot bond or penetrate properly.
That is why Sealix focuses on the full system: Prepare. Protect. Maintain.
Built from real deck restoration experience
Sealix was created from years of hands-on work restoring timber decks across Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and Sydney.
We have seen both sides — the decks that last, and the ones that fail early because the timber was not prepared and protected properly.
That is why every timber care system we recommend is based on real jobsite experience, not guesswork from a hardware store shelf.

The Sealix Way
Prep. Protect. Maintain.
1. Prepare
Clean, strip or rejuvenate the timber based on its condition. This is where most deck restorations succeed or fail.
2. Protect
Apply the right penetrating oil or film-forming finish for your timber, exposure and expected maintenance cycle.
3. Maintain
Clean and refresh the surface before it fails again. Maintenance is cheaper than full restoration.

Timber Care FAQs
Do I need to sand my deck first?
Not always. If the deck has old coating, heavy build-up or contamination, cleaning or stripping first gives a better result. Sanding is often best used as final surface preparation.
Should I strip or clean my deck?
If the timber is grey or previously oiled, deep cleaning and rejuvenating may be enough. If it has peeling, shiny or film-forming coating, stripping is usually required.
Can I restore my deck in one weekend?
Many smaller decks can be prepared and coated over a weekend if the weather is suitable and the correct system is used.
Will prep cleaners or strippers damage my garden, paint or walls?
Viccon Wood Care cleaners are designed to be used around homes with minimal impact on surrounding surfaces when used correctly. They are biodegradable and lose their active reaction within about one hour after application. Wash-off from the deck should not damage nearby areas as long as the product is not applied directly to plants, painted walls or trim. Follow the instructions, pre-wet sensitive areas and rinse properly.
Why choose these products instead of products from Bunnings or other stores?
Sealix only offers products and systems that have been used on real jobs by Viccon Coatings and other trades across Australia. These products are selected because they are made to work and deliver expected results — not just because they have nice branding on the shelf.
Can Sealix help me choose?
Yes. Send us photos of your deck and we can recommend the best preparation, protection and maintenance system.
