Cerpiano+ Shildan Terracotta Deck Maintenance

Introduction

For many homeowners and builders, deck maintenance is a seasonal chore—and a costly one. From cleaning and sealing to repairing and refinishing, keeping a wood deck looking beautiful requires time, tools, and an ongoing commitment. And yet, even with regular upkeep, traditional wood remains vulnerable to fading, cracking, warping, and weather damage.
