Give Your Slatted Fence a Teak Glow: Lacq Produra for Treated Wood

Highlight

• Teak Warmth: Elevates standard slatted panels.
• Great on Treated Wood: Binds well, minimal sanding required.
• Fast Dry: Recoat in 6 hours for a deeper hue.

Introduction

Slatted fences are known for modern style, but treated timber can appear bland. This case study details how Teak Lacq Produra transformed a treated wood fence, merging eco-friendly stain technology with minimal prep and high durability.

Background & Challenge

Client Background
A homeowner wanted a warmer, more luxurious look for their pressure-treated slatted fence.

Challenge

• Generic Appearance: Treated wood’s typical greenish tint offered little style.

• Weather Resistance: Must withstand UK storms and sun.

• Time Efficiency: Hoping for a quick 2-day project.

Initial Conditions
A new slatted fence with no prior coatings, just standard “treated” finish.

The Solution & Implementation

1. Minimal Prep

   • Rinsed dust off, no heavy sanding.

2. Teak Produra Application

   • Brushed carefully along each slat.

3. Dry & Recoat

   • Dries in ~6 hours, second coat if desired that same day.

Technical Tip: Use a slim brush or pad for even coverage in narrow slat gaps.

Results & Customer Feedback

• Teak-Inspired Glow: Injects warmth and style into standard treated timber.

• Longevity: Resists peeling, ideal for damp or sunny climates.

• Eco & Low Odour: Perfect for gardens and families.

“Our fence looks incredible now—a real teak vibe. So simple, no harsh fumes!”
— Gareth M., Property Owner in Bath
