- What’s the difference between Behr Penetrating Oil and Behr Waterproofing Sealer?
-
Behr Premium Penetrating Oil:
Soaks deep into the wood for a natural look that enhances the grain
Great for older or weathered decks
Doesn’t peel — easier to reapply each season
Fast-drying and low-maintenance
Provides solid UV and water resistance without forming a surface film
Behr Waterproofing Sealer:
Sits on top of the wood like a protective coat
Great for newer decks or high-traffic areas
Strong water repellency and mildew resistance
Can last longer, but may peel
Touch-ups may require sanding or stripping before reapplication
Which one should I choose?
It depends on your deck and your goals. Penetrating Oil is great if you want a natural finish and easy maintenance. Waterproofing Sealer is ideal if you want longer-lasting protection and don’t mind occasional sanding before redoing it. We’ll help you choose the best option during your estimate.
How long does deck stain or sealer last?-
That depends on the product used, sun exposure, and weather conditions. On average:
Penetrating oil should be reapplied every 1–2 years for best results.
Waterproofing sealer can last up to 2–3 years, but may need maintenance sooner if it begins to peel or fade.
We recommend checking your deck each spring. If water no longer beads on the surface or the colour looks faded, it’s time for a recoat.
Which product is cheaper to reapply: Penetrating Oil or Waterproofing Sealer?-
Penetrating Oil is usually cheaper and easier to reapply.
Because it soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top, there’s no need for sanding or stripping between coats. You can clean the surface and apply a fresh coat with minimal prep.
On the other hand, Waterproofing Sealer can be more costly to reapply if it starts to peel. In that case, the old layer may need to be sanded or stripped off before a new coat goes on, which adds time and labour.
Bottom line: Penetrating Oil is more maintenance-friendly and cost-effective for reapplication — especially if you plan to keep up with it every season or two.
- The best time is late spring through early fall when temperatures are between 10°C and 30°C and weather is dry.
We monitor the forecast closely and use moisture meters to make sure your deck is fully dry before applying any products. A dry surface is key to long-lasting results — and no peeling.
