(NC) Once the weather warms up, getting outside is likely at the top of your weekend agenda. We all want to take advantage of the longer days by taking part in family activities or entertaining friends and neighbours. This thrusts outdoor spaces into the sunlight.

If your outdoor wood surface has not been treated with deck and dock protection, it can feel like a hot fire pit when you walk across it. Newly developed coatings can help to pre-emptively cool your exterior wood surfaces. For example, Duckback's Deck and Dock with Cool Feel Technology reduces surface temperature up to 11°C and can be used on new and old wood, concrete, and even existing exterior paint or stained surfaces.

The research and development team at Duckback suggest using a high-build flexible coating to keep your dock cool and comfortable this summer. In addition to helping you chill out, this kind of seal is designed to protect, resurface and waterproof wood and concrete. The formula provides long-lasting protection against moisture and the damaging effects of the sun.

To take your deck maintenance efforts to the next level, make it slip resistant by adding the eco-friendly anti-skid additive to the cool feel technology.

Be sure to keep your feet happy by cooling your deck and dock with Cool Feel technology all summer.
