High Performance Coating System
Factory applied coating systems offer
significant advantages over site applied products. Maximum
coverage, absorption and the correct film build ensure
superior protection to the timber.
We’ve teamed up with Sikkens who offer a wide range
of coatings for factory application and for regular
one-coat maintenance, ensuring optimum economic and
environmental values can be achieved over the whole
building’s life cycle.
As a partner within the Sikkens Sentinel Plus Wood Protection
Programme, a maintenance programme is provided for every
window.

This
ensures maintenance is conducted at the right time with
compatible products, significantly increasing the life
span of joinery and keeping the through life costs to
a minimum.
To ensure the continuing durability of the finish, we
recommend the following procedures.
| 1 |
 |
Wash
down and inspect the joinery annually, washing removes
surface pollutants and prevents the formation of
bacterial / fungal growth, use a mild detergent
solution and rinse using clean water. |
|
| 2 |
|
Ensure
that all rain water goods are clear, leak proof
and free draining. |
|
| 3 |
|
Do
not allow the coating to break down before the application
of a maintenance coat(s). |
|
| 4 |
|
Avoid
sanding the surface as this removes factory applied
protection, if necessary, lightly abrade using a
synthetic woven pad - available from most DIY stores. |
|
| 5 |
|
Ensure
that the surface is clean, dry and free of dust
and grease. |
|
| 6 |
|
Apply
one coat of compatible product. |
