We had a professional flooring guy sand and oil our deck 3 years ago. He recommended 2 coats of Intergrain. It looked great and is still looking great, except for the landing area in full sun. So we just had him back to re oil everything, even though the majority of the deck in the shade didn't really need it. Very happy with this product and certainly much better than cheaper products I'd used. We'll give it 3 days before walking on it.

Deck cleaned the entire deck, 80% was very good 20% Sun and wear peeling (back to bare timber after clean) after 2nd coat applied had rain after 26 hours 24 oc temp. Rain et areas went white, scrubbed, released, pressure washed reapplied oil, 3 coats on damaged area and still after 5 days rain wet areas white
Water based UltraDeck

We used Intergram Ultra beck 'natural' on our uncovered 100sqm treated pine deck that gets full sun about a year ago.
We water blasted throughly, left a few days to dry, then applied two coats by hand (using a lge paint brush as our boards are grove side up). Painted full lengh boards three at a time (and only when shady). Bit back breaking by hand, but worked steadily over a few days. Left a week inbetween coats, and stayed off deck about a week once finished. The end result is great and love the colour. It's a bit pricier but feel worth it.
A year later and it looks the the same...

I bought this as it was well priced and wanted to protect a new spotted gum deck that wasn't quite finished, just until I could finish it and get a "proper" oil. Well nearly three years later its still on the deck and yes the deck is still not finished. The only places where the timber is exposed is where the pool waterfall splashed over and on a low part of the deck. Very impressed.

I changed to Intergrain Ultra Deck a couple of years ago. I have 150m2 of decking which is fully exposed in a high rainfall cooler climate. So I need a product that protects and is relatively easy to maintain. It does not bring out the natural timber colours like a true oil however what it does do is it protects the timber, is very durable and you can get 2 coats done in a summer day. So I’m pleased with the outcome.

It’s been nearly two years and it’s still going translucent when it gets wet
My neighbour’s does the same thing
Can I have an agent contact me and advise what I should do

Doesnt dry properly and provides no water resistance to deck. I spent a week doing the job properly, with prep etc. Deck is now a hazy white colour even over a year later. I was advised that it just hadn’t cured yet, so keep it dry. Surely a year later it should be cured. The water has never beaded on it, so I doubt it is protecting the wood at all. I used three coats and allowed thorough drying between coats.
Horribly expensive useless product. Hours and hours of wasted labour to make my large deck look garbage. i dont even know where to start to repair it.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!

After 3 coats & some use, we are left with a horrible looking deck with marks all over it. Footprints, water stains, you name it. Functionally slip resistant, but aesthetically appalling.

At front of my house i have steps made of merbau where the person who did this job use nasty oil to stain them and it looks so dry and flaky .. Last week at bunnings there were cabots decking experts and the lady there guided me on what should i do to clean n then stain it. She highly recommended on Intergrain ultra deck due to its logetivity and color which i was looking .. i did clean with intergrain untra clean, then pressure wash it after 30 mins and then did first stain a day later. Did 2nd coat the morning after 1st stain. It turned out to be the best choice so happy and highly recommended product

I am absolutely shattered after using this product. The time and effort I put into my project only to have it destroyed by using this product has disappointed to to a point where words cant describe.
I have used every stain there is available in the past and I can assure you this is the worst product available on the market right now. In my honest opinion it should be removed from being sold.
On top of that to think that i paid a premium to buy this product over other much cheaper/better products available.
Very very disappointed.

I have used a few different decking oils over the years and this product is easily the best I have used.
Looks great, and longevity is about twice that of some comparable products. Relatively easy to use with a conveniently short re-coat time. I also like that it is water based.

Great product for outdoor timber. I have used for several years on outdoor spotted gum timber and it lasts really well. We are in Brisbane and it cops full sun for most of the day. Best product I have used. Would highly recommend. Re coat easily after 4 hours. Maintains timber colour over the long term and doesn’t go dark or black like a lot of cheaper products

Can you do a negative 10 review??? Absolute crap product. My deck looks dreadful, i applied 3 coats and has a white haze look to it. Dont waste your money.

I'm a materials engineer and have nothing to do with paint but I do have a wooden house in coastal nsw. The finish and longevity of this product on Silvertop Ash, LOSP treated pine and merbau exceed Cabots and way exceeds British Paints deck oil. It's worth the extra money in my opinion even though for 10L you need a small loan.

Does not live up to the description on tin or what Head Office states. is not for Australian climate .Crap product. Stayed tacky for weeks. Marks easily. terrible to keep clean. Applied around pool deck, so full sun, and part shade, deck. followed all instructions. NO help from REP, put on another coat and dont walk on it for up to 3 months!

I noticed all the negative comments were bought from Bunnings ... was your timber also ? Often finish inconsistencies can be from timber brought in from a different region with entirely different moisture content ... something no one that works in the big green shed would have a clue about that can leech out after laying this will impact your finish

Was given a timber sign for xmas...coated it in Ultradeck Natural 3 coats..it is facing north in Queensland sun...so basically gets it all day....and all types of weather...have only just sanded it back recoated with three coats over three days 4 years later....very impressed and water clean up is a bonus...Dave Bundaberg

I don't doubt that some people have had serious issues with the product, but I've never had a problem with Intergrain. I sand and re-coat my deck every ten years whether it needs it or not, and despite the harsh north queensland weather, the spotted gum still looks as good as new. The ultradeck (merbau, in my case) goes on a bit dark, which is disconcerting at first, but then it dries much lighter and very pretty. The trick is to put it on in three or four very thin layers; dont slosh it on.
