Product Care
Azek products must be painted prior to being installed or they will discolor and void the warranty.
The following is recommended:
-
Azek doesn't have a finish and that leaves the material subject to dirt, smudges, mold, and mildew.
-
Properly prepared and painted with even brush strokes gives it the appearance of finely painted wood.
-
A properly painted finish will last for years, protecting the substrate from mold, mildew, and UV rays.
-
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and void of any foreign material such as dirt, oil, grease or other contaminants that may come from normal handling, storage, and/or installation prior to painting.
-
Use 100% acrylic latex paint with colors having a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of 55 or higher.
