The Brief
The brief, and the surface.
- Surface
- Exterior grooved anti-slip wood decking, absorbent untreated timber
- Climate & Exposure
- Tropical coastal — monsoon-cyclical, high humidity, salt-air exposure
- On-site Notes
- Anti-slip grooves must remain unfilled — no film-forming coatings
- Recoat cycle 12-18 months per TDS for direct-rain exposure

An elevated outdoor terrace with grooved anti-slip decking boards, exposed to Andhra Pradesh's coastal monsoon and year-round UV. The team needed a penetrating oil that would seal the deck against rain without filling the anti-slip channels. LEINOS Terrace Wood Oil 236 was brushed onto the boards in two thin coats, applied wet-on-wet per TDS protocol.
The team worked plank by plank, keeping the brush moving across the grooves so the oil reached the channel bottoms without pooling on the flat faces. Drying ran 6-8 hours dust-dry; the second coat followed at 16 hours next morning.

Outcome
The result on site.
Water beads visibly on the deck face and runs off the anti-slip grooves after a Visakhapatnam coastal monsoon — a single LEINOS Terrace Wood Oil 236 system, no film coating.
The decking carries a deep saturated brown tone with the wood grain visible through the oil. After a coastal monsoon shower, water beads prominently on the board faces and runs cleanly off the anti-slip grooves; no chalking at the board ends after the first season.
Results vary by surface condition, climate exposure, application method, and ongoing maintenance.
