No it is not. Here is a description of the products that perform like paint that can be used on a deck. Semi-gloss exterior house paint – We do not use house paint on deck floors, or even on covered floors inside screened-in porches as the risk of peeling is extremely high. We can use exterior semi gloss paint on deck spindles (on areas that already have been painted and reapplication is necessary), deck handrails. We only suggest using Benjamin Moore Moorglo for this purpose as it sticks like glue. We use Moorglo when reapplication is necessary – in historic homes like in Little 5 points, Cabbagetown, Grant Park, Virginia Highlands, etc. We would prefer to use a conventional semi gloss house paint like Moorglo in covered areas- as it won’t peel on spindles but will peel on tops of handrails. So to be clear – we never recommend using semi-gloss house paint on decks, railings, and will only use paint when reapplication is necessary. If reapplication is needed we only use moorglo from Benjamin-Moore. Solid Color Deck Stain– Solid color deck stain is a penetrating opaque stain that performs like a paint. We can use solid color deck stains on deck floors although there is a risk (much smaller than painting with house paint) of peeling in horizontal areas exposed to the elements. Solid color deck stains are a 2 coat product – proper preparation is vital to a long lasting deck stain job. Porch and floor enamel- Porch and floor enamel used to be strictly an oil based paint that was specifically made to paint wood, concrete surfaces that were covered like covered front porches, or screened in porches – hence the name. Today porch and floor is normally only available in a water-borne formula. While not as ‘sticky’ as the oil-based of years ago, porch and floor is an excellent product when painting one’s covered front porch floor, rear screened porch floor, wood stair steps, etc. Porch and floor if applied properly is an excellent product that, if used in covered areas will easily last many many years. Porch and floor is also EXCELLENT for high dog traffic areas.
