Decks Bonding & Caulking
Deck bonding
Deck bonding is a crucial process in ensuring the durability and longevity of your deck, whether it's made of teak, GRP, wood, steel, or aluminum. Proper preparation and application of bonding materials are essential to protect your deck from environmental and thermal movements.
Guideline to achieve optimal deck bonding:
- Preparation of the substrates: using Cleaners and/or pretreat the surface with Prep P for wooded deck
- Bonding of teak planks: apply adhesives ( ex, MSR Bedding Compound) on the pretreated deck surface
- Apply Simson Prep P to the surfaces of the teak planks that have to be bonded
- Fixate the teak planks using clamping tools, dead weights, or screws for at least 24 hours.
- Remove residues of uncured adhesive

Deck Caulking
Deck caulking is essential for sealing the gaps between deck planks, preventing water from seeping through and causing damage. It also helps in accommodating the natural expansion and contraction of the deck materials due to temperature and humidity changes.
Guideline to for deck caulking:
- Pre-treatment with Cleaner: The seams must be clean, dry and dust free.
- Applying the Caulk: apply a continuous bead of caulk along the seam.
- Curing and Final Steps: Allow the caulk to cure for 24 to 48 hours, then inspect and clean up.
