Wood Deck & Dock Textured Coating

Due to the severe weather we've been having during the past few winters we have decided to reformulate our Renew It coating to better handle lower than normal winter temperatures and above normal snow falls. Our new industrial grade formulation provides a more permanent solution that won't chip or peel off like standard deck paints! Our Renew It Deck Coating will end your yearly ritual of stripping and painting your deck!

We provide a 5 year warranty against peeling on decks that were properly prepared and had the material properly applied. Renew It can be reapplied to itself at anytime! So when your Renew It Deck needs a facelift(avg time is 7-10 yrs) simply apply one refresher coat to bring your deck back to new. Much better than stripping and staining every year!

Restore the beauty of your decks with one of our 25 beautiful designer colors! Works on new or old wood, treated wood, Trex and concrete. Fills in and completely hides cracks and holes. Unlike thin mil paints, Renew It is a coating that is an 1/8" thick that cannot be compared to any type of deck paint! Cures to a rock hard super thick textured barefoot friendly surface on any wood deck, pool deck, dock, patio, sidewalk or porch.

Q: Can I purchase this at a home improvement center or hardware store?
A: No. Our Renew It deck coating is not to be confused with other retail grade coatings that don't last and are available at Home Improvement Centers. This is an industrial full strength grade formulation that we manufacture and sell directly to you.

Q: I live in a northern climate. Is this product suitable for areas that have large temperature swings and large amounts of snow?
A: The coating once cured has a temperature rating of -40 degrees to 200 degrees. Our Deck Renew It coating is extremely flexible so temperature swings have no effect on the coating. That is what sets Renew It apart from all other coatings. It wears like iron. It breathes and flexes so as not to chip, crack, or peel like every other deck coating. However, we do not recommend applying the coating if temperatures range below 50 degrees or above 100 degrees within 48 hours of application.
Snow and ice have no effect on Renew It either. Renew It is tough enough to handle snow shoveling. We do recommend that you use plastic or fiberglass tipped shovels when shoveling snow right down to the coating. As you can imagine, a steel edged shovel slammed into any surface will scratch or gouge it, even concrete.

Q: What is the difference between this and your Super Duty Deck Paint?
A: The answer to this question is that paints and coatings are different. The Deck Paint is made as a liquid product from start to finish as all paints are, that when applied gets partially absorbed into the wood and leaves a very thin surface film like all conventional paints do. The Renew It Coating starts out as a solid and is made into liquid form by us, and then returns to a solid after you apply it; with the main difference being that it bonds onto the surface being applied to and forms a 1/8" thick solid material coating on the surface that is permanent.
No other coating product has a finish like ours. Even our Super Deck Paint, as with any conventional paint, is not permanent because it is not a coating. The same applies to why our garage floor epoxy is so superior. It's because they are made from "solids" which makes them a coating and not a paint that cheaper epoxies are. That's why those types of paint products peel off in a year or so whether on your garage floor, shop floor, wood deck or concrete deck.

Q: Is this a different coating than your concrete coating?
A: We used to make the concrete and wood coatings as two different products. We have now made the coating good for both wood and concrete surfaces, including Pool Decks. It is now much more convenient for our customers to use and less confusing. The only difference is in the prep work.

You need to clean and etch concrete surfaces prior to applying the coating; see our Acid Safe Etching Kit below for easy concrete preparation and to ensure compatibility with our product. Using other harsh acids may cause bonding issues, which we cannot be responsible for. Armor Renew It Coating is still the same extra thick super durable coating that will restore a deck made of wood or concrete by filling in and covering cracks, chips, stains, knots and other imperfections!

Q: Can you provide custom colors?
A: If you want to restore your deck coating with a custom color, order the tint base version from the color drop down box. Then you can add up to 10 ounces of universal water base tint available at any paint store to tint and mix into any color you want. Please note that we do not guarantee the product after 1 year since we do not know what type of tints are actually being used. Some tints can adversely effect the product's performance and or durability.

Q: My deck boards are warped. Can I coat them and how do I do it between the boards?
A: Warped boards may require you to roll perpendicular to the boards first then roll parallel to the boards to ensure material gets down into the valley of warped or cupped boards. Use the 4" roller set to cover these boards easier. If your boards are widely spaced, you can use a gallon of the smooth version and brush to coat in between the boards prior to applying the textured coating. Let the smooth version dry before applying the textured coating.

Q: Do I have to protect my landscaping?
A: No. It's 100% non toxic.

Q: Can I do the entire deck with this?
A: Yes, it can be used on the entire deck. We recommend you apply it with our small area roller to the railings and posts. You can also use a brush for the railings and posts if you want a smoother, less textured finish. Vertical posts and railings do not get the same damage and wear as the floor so you may want to use the smooth version of this coating that is available in the same exact colors for the maximum protection of your posts and rails. See the Smooth Version.

Q: How long will this last and what is the warranty?
A: We have a limited 5 year warranty that covers you against product defects when product is applied to a properly prepared surface in two full coats at the proper thickness with our Renew It rollers. When properly applied you should get an average of 7-10 years of service. After which you should do one thin refresher coat at 150 sf/gal.

This warranty applies to any peeling, chipping or cracking that is the direct result of a product defect. We will replace defective material up to original quantity purchased, shipping costs from our NJ warehouse is not included. The sole and exclusive maximum liability of ArmorGarage LLC under this warranty will be to replace the appropriate quantity necessary for re-coating warranted area. Warranty does not cover normal wear nor shipping costs.

Our Deck Renew It Coating will not require stripping and recoating as standard deck coatings do under normal use. Our coating is not a miracle coating; it cannot bring rotted, crumbling, and broken boards or concrete back to life. These boards or sections of concrete should be replaced prior to coating. Warranty is void when applied to any unsatisfactory surface condition that exists prior to or at any time after product is applied. Also as with all items exposed to the sun, the color will eventually wear and fade. At which time, you may want to apply one single refresher coat as mentioned above.

Q: Can I apply this to pressure treated wood or Trex Decking?
A: The answer to both is yes even though both are notoriously difficult to paint. Renew It is very well suited for application over treat wood or Trex Decks. Pressure treated wood should be allowed to age for 6 months to allow complete out gassing. Renew It will restore aged and worn out treated wood boards. Trex should age for 3-4 months. Trex should first be primed with our Flash Bond Primer in lieu of the Renew It primer. Our Renew It coating is a great application for Trex since Trex is the best material for longevity, but most people don't like the look of it and it can be slippery when wet. Now you can have a deck with good looks and longevity!

Q: Can it be applied to untreated wood?
A: Yes, our Renew It coating works best on untreated wood and is the best long-term protection you can put on the material, which normally rots out fairly quickly. If possible, we suggest you seal the underside of the boards with any typical Home Improvement type sealer to reduce rotting from underneath. Since the under side of the boards are not exposed to sun or traffic, residential grade sealers should last a good amount of time and will extend the life of the wood.

Q: Do I need any special tools?
A: You will need to purchase our special roller to properly apply the coating for the best results when you restore your deck with our coating. We suggest you purchase 1 roller for every 200 sf of deck.

Q: How do I clean it?
A: The finished surface is easy to maintain and clean. All that is needed to clean the coated surface is a mild liquid soap and garden hose. A light pressure washing is also okay to remove any heavy ground-in dirt and grime. You can also use a fiberglass edged shovel to remove any snow during the winter months.

Q: Is it slippery when wet?
A: No. In fact, it is quite the opposite since it has a grainy type finish. It is a very non-slip type of finish and will have the feel of a very fine emery board on bare feet that is very comfortable for walking on and barely noticeable. It's great for pool areas and it's even comfortable for pet paws! Aside from being used to restore decks, it works great on stairs & ramps as a non-slip surface.
