Durable Protection for Teak Decking & Metal Surfaces (SPV403H70)
Deckguard Teak & Metal Protect (SPV403H70) is a specialist surface protection tape developed for use on teak decking and metal surfaces such as stainless steel, anodised aluminium, and coated metals. This black-and-white film has been tested extensively for marine environments and removes cleanly without leaving any residue.
Designed to shield high-traffic areas during construction, refits, storage, or transport, the tape protects surfaces from scratches, scuffs, and contaminants. It features a white PE top film with a black underlayer and a pressure-sensitive natural rubber adhesive — offering high adhesion performance while maintaining safe removability.

Application Information
Proper Application For Best Results
-
1
Surface Preparation
Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from oils or contaminants. For teak, ensure the surface is fully dry from any cleaning procedures.
-
2
Temperature Considerations
Apply at temperatures between 10-30°C (50-86°F) for optimal adhesion. Avoid application during extremely cold conditions.
-
3
Edge Sealing
Pay special attention to sealing the edges completely, especially in high-traffic areas where peeling might begin.
-
4
Controlled Removal
When removing, pull at a 45-degree angle at a steady pace for the cleanest results with no residue.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is Deckguard suitable for both indoor and outdoor areas?
Yes, Deckguard is designed for both interior and exterior marine applications. It offers UV resistance for up to 3 months, making it ideal for outdoor surfaces during construction or refit periods. For longer-term outdoor protection, we recommend checking the condition of the film periodically.
-
Will Deckguard damage the oils in my teak deck?
No, Deckguard is specifically designed to be safe for use on teak decking. The adhesive formulation will not pull oils from properly maintained teak when removed correctly. For very dry or aged teak that may need re-oiling after protection removal, we recommend discussing with your deck maintenance specialist.
-
Can I cut Deckguard to fit complex shapes?
Absolutely. Deckguard can be easily cut with scissors or a utility knife to fit around deck fittings, complex shapes, or specific areas requiring protection. For the best results, cut the pieces slightly oversized and then trim for an exact fit once initially positioned.
-
How well does Deckguard stay down in wet conditions?
While Deckguard offers good moisture resistance once properly applied and sealed at the edges, it's not designed for submersion or constant wet conditions. For areas regularly exposed to standing water, we recommend checking the edges periodically and reapplying if necessary. The film performs best when applied to completely dry surfaces.
