That’s why our deck sanding and restoration services are designed specifically to combat the effects of the tropical climate while preserving the beauty of your outdoor spaces.


We proudly service residential and commercial clients throughout Cairns, QLD, and surrounding areas, providing expert workmanship and lasting results every time.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DECK SANDING IN TROPICAL CLIMATES

Timber decks are constantly exposed to the elements. Over time, UV rays break down surface fibres, rain seeps into unsealed boards, and moisture encourages mould and mildew growth. Without maintenance, decks can quickly become faded, rough, and unsafe.

 

Professional sanding reverses this damage by removing the top layer of weathered wood, exposing fresh, healthy timber underneath. This smooth, even surface is then ready to absorb oils or sealants, restoring both the natural grain and protective barrier of your deck.

 

In North Queensland’s tropical environment, routine sanding and refinishing are vital to ensure your deck lasts for decades instead of years.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY DECK

No two decks are the same. Size, timber type, exposure level, and previous treatments all influence how sanding should be approached. At AC Floor Sanding, we assess each project individually and select the right grit levels, sanding equipment, and protective products for your timber. This ensures your deck achieves a consistent texture and a flawless finish that lasts through North Queensland’s tropical seasons.

Whether your deck is hardwood, softwood, or composite timber, we use industry-grade sanding tools that minimise dust while delivering a smooth, even result across every board.

    Our modern dust-controlled equipment keeps disruption minimal. Most clients are surprised at how clean the process is compared to DIY methods.
