Key Features
Fasteners
Suitable fasteners to use with MicroPro® treated products include stainless steel and hot-dipped galvanised nails. Note: In seaspray and geothermal zones ensure all specified fasteners and fixings comply with environmental exposure.
Painting
Apply two coats of a premium exterior grade topcoat. Topcoat colours should have a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of 45 or higher, as dark colours can encourage resin bleed and distortion leading to cracking and premature paint failure. Paint must be applied as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
