Maintenance

Every 10-12 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 maintenance and re-oiling every 10-12 years. Inspect the surface annually. Actual timing depends on orientation, UV exposure, climate, moisture, architectural detailing and the condition of the finish. This is not a colour-retention warranty or guaranteed service life.

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.
