Painting & staining timber products
Guide
Properly painting timber products not only enhances their appearance but also provides essential protection against weathering and wear.
With the right preparation and techniques, you can ensure a beautiful, durable finish that extends the life of your timber and keeps it looking its best year after year.
How do you want to treat your products?
Surface preparation
Bare wood: Lightly sand the surface to improve the paint’s adhesion and achieve a good ‘key’. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable exterior filler. If there are any signs of damage or decay then these aspects should all be completely fixed and eliminated before any painting. After cleaning, repairing and drying of the timber, the elements or the infected areas should be rubbed down with P150 grit sandpaper until all areas end up in a smooth surface.
Apply 2 coats of PE025QO primer at approximately 100g per m2. Leave for 4 hours minimum between primer coats. Once the primer stage has been completed then leave for a minimum of 16 hours and then prepare using P240g sandpaper before the application of the top coat.
Previously painted wood: If the old paint is in good condition lightly sand the surface using P240g sandpaper to achieve a sufficient ‘key’. If your paint is flaking or cracked or if there are any signs of damage or decay then these aspects should all be completely fixed and eliminated before any painting. Always apply primer to the any areas of bare wood with a minimum of 2 coats as per bare wood instructions above.
‘It is good practise to pay particular attention to the end grain of any timber being painted or stained during the preparation for and application of any coating.’
Coating application
Stir paint thoroughly before use. Do not start painting if rain is likely before the product has through cured. Always apply when temperature is between 15-30 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity below 65%.
Apply two coats of paint using a synthetic brush and follow the direction of the woodgrain. Allow 4-12 hours between applying the first and second coat of paint, if left longer between coats then a sufficient de-nib using 240g sandpaper is required.
