What is a deck varnish? What is it used for?

Wood deck varnish is a liquid solution used to protect wooden floors from water, prevent corrosion and increase their durability against external factors. The most important feature of wooden deck varnish is that it provides a non-slip surface and prevents slipping on wooden deck floors. It is also highly resistant to the harmful effects of sunlight (UV). It acts as a protective layer. It is applied on wood as a preservative. It also makes wooden decks that have been used for a long time look like new.
