Binders for Gravel and Decking Oils: Chimiver’s New Solutions for Outdoor

Every outdoor surface tells a story: of lived-in spaces, cared-for environments, and well-designed settings. To ensure durability, functionality, and flawless aesthetics, it’s essential to choose highly effective and specific treatments.

Whether it’s a gravel path, stone paving, or wooden decking, choosing the right products makes all the difference. Let’s explore the latest innovations in gravel binders, impregnating oils, and decking treatments.

Raincoat Floor: The New Impregnating Oil for Outdoor Wooden Decking

For those seeking a high-performance decking oil, Chimiver presents Raincoat Floor, a new generation of water-based impregnating oil designed to protect and enhance outdoor wood. This product is ideal for pool edges, terraces, walkways, as well as window frames, fences, and wooden canopies.

Compared to the previous Sundeck W Oil, Raincoat Floor offers an even more advanced formulation. Thanks to emulsified oils and water-based resins, it is able to:

• Protect wood from weather exposure,
• Slow down the greying process,
• Comply with CAM (Minimum Environmental Criteria) and other green protocols, making it a sustainable choice,
• Offer multiple certifications.

Raincoat Floor is available in the following versions:

• Raincoat Floor: A pigmented version that gives the decking a warmer tone,
• Raincoat Floor Light: Features a milky appearance and preserves the natural color of the decking,
• Raincoat Floor Colorato: Available in various shades to adjust the tone of the outdoor wood surface.

This impregnating oil is perfect for those who want a durable and visually flawless decking.

It’s easy to apply: all you need is a brush, and you’re good to go!

For a deeper understanding of how to use this new product, click here to watch a video demonstrating the combined use of Raincoat Floor and Raincoat Floor Light on teak decking by a pool, a cycle ideal for adding tone to your outdoor wood flooring without drastically altering its natural color. The treated surface was first restored with LIOS Grigioff: a rejuvenating solution for restoring the original color of greyed wood floors and surfaces.

Pebbleblock: The Binder for Gravel and Grit for Stable Outdoor Areas

If you have a garden with decorative flowerbeds or a gravel or grit path, you know how difficult it is to keep them tidy. The new PEBBLEBLOCK is a water-based binder for gravel and grit, designed to stabilize inert surfaces without altering their natural appearance. Easy to apply, it penetrates between the granules to create a cohesive and resistant structure that effectively prevents displacement caused by wind, rain, other weather conditions, or leaf blowers.

This product is ideal for outdoor spaces subject to light or moderate foot traffic.

Key Benefits:

• Quick and easy application: the binder is ready to use and can be sprayed directly onto the surface
• Compatible with stone chips, gravel, and inert materials: aggregate size should not exceed 12 mm, and ensure stones and gravel are clean and dust-free before application
• Natural and clean finish: the product does not alter the natural look of the gravel
• Keeps outdoor areas neat: improves surface stability, reduces the risk of material dispersion, and extends surface lifespan

For best results, allow the treatment to dry for at least 24 hours.
