01 Before / after
Cleaning a deck without pretending it is new
The green film goes and the grain comes back, but the silvered tone stays. That is the difference between cleaning and restoring, and we say so before we start.
Before any work we look at the material and the condition of the joints. Our guide explains how to clean, sand or replace decking.
On another question that often comes up, we also cover protect exterior wood near the sea. This visualisation is an example of the kind of difference involved, not a completed job.

Skills brought over from France
For 15 years, I developed my experience in France alongside Sols Bois Concept, a company specialising in the construction, installation, maintenance and restoration of wooden terraces and decks. In 2026, I decided to bring this expertise to Portugal and create Puro Terraço.

Why excessive pressure damages wood
Wood is softer than stone or concrete: too much pressure raises the fibres and accelerates wear. We always use low pressure on wood, with proper drying time between steps.
