Maintenance

Every 5-7 years Inspect the façade at least once a year for surface damage, splitting, coating deterioration or discolouration beneath the coating, which could indicate moisture penetration. Indicative re-oiling every 5-7 years, based on exposure and surface condition.

Actual timing depends on the timber, finish, façade design, orientation, UV exposure, local climate, moisture, wind, rain, sunlight and architectural detailing. Base maintenance on the visual and protective condition of the surface, not a fixed guarantee. These intervals are not colour-retention warranties or guaranteed service lives.

Spruce KIME (5-7 years), Japanese Cedar KIME (10-12 years), Accoya® KIME (approximately 15 years) and KAEN (approximately 15-20 years) are newly approved INFLAMED guidance, not values taken from the current downloadable guides.
