Exterior Timber Joinery Care and Protection

Exterior timber joinery is a premium product, which requires a level of protection to enhance the properties of the product. It is recognised exterior timber joinery is not 100% wind and rain proof , it is constructed for sheltered exterior use and should not be exposed to driving rain , direct sunlight or extremes of humidity. In locations where extreme weather conditions are found, additional installation precautions maybe taken to improve the products performance, such as the installation of seals, which are not considered normal trade practice.

The minimum protection for timber joinery is as follows:

• All Joinery items must be sealed on all 6 faces prior to installation including hardware penetration

• Oil based systems only to be used, following the coating manufacturer's instructions and advice

• 4 Coat system being one primer coat one undercoat and two topcoats.

• The bottom and top of the sashes and doors must be sealed

• When painting the putty, the paint must overlap the glass by at least 2mm.

• Appropriate flashings must be installed.

• Joinery with wet plaster must have at least two protection coatings prior to plastering.

• Dark colours void any Guarantee.

• Timber joinery be installed by a qualified builder.

If you choose to ignore these recommendations the warranty is void.

Glazing

• Use neutral cure sealants only.

• No tinted putty to be used for exterior use.

• Timber glass beads should be fitted using non ferrous fittings.

• No glass to be installed unless rebates have been primed and sealed.

 Shrinkage and or expansion does occur from seasonal changes in temperature and moisture. Minor warping or twisting up to 6mm is expected as normal for timber joinery.  Variations in colour, texture or grain of timbers are a natural occurrence for which the manufacturer can not control and are not considered defects but part of the natural beauty of timber.
