Maintenance of products
 
Timber is a natural substance which shrinks and swells with changing humidity which in turn stretches the surface coating and in some areas may cause the coating to tear, if this happens moisture will get in and cause even more damage. This is why it is very important to carry out regular maintenance checks and re-seal any damaged areas as soon as possible.
Coated surfaces require regular maintenance and cleaning at least annually to remove surface pollution. Some ‘chalking’ of the finish may occur over time due to natural erosion of the microporous paint film. This does not detract from the systems protective performance.
On occasion timber products may exude resin after installation. Typically, if resin is present this ‘bleeding’ cannot be prevented.
Discolouration can occur which will require attention and maintenance to retain the aesthetics and integrity of the coating. Resin exudation is excluded from our performance guarantee.
Exposure conditions can vary significantly according to location. South facing elevations and coastal sites will reduce to some extent the finish life to first maintenance. Our guarantees are intended to cover reasonable average UK conditions.
At annual intervals or more frequently if necessary, inspect and lubricate all ironmongery, hinges, pivoting and sliding parts. Friction hinges must not be oiled or greased.
Inspect the condition of the decorative and glazing systems on all external joinery at maximum intervals of one year and carry out remedial work as required.
