Why Weathertex

• CodeMark certified up to and including BAL 19 construction

Specifications

Finishing

The Natural range is unprimed. Left uncoated it lightens and silvers in the sun; to keep the dark hardwood colour, stain it with a pigmented water-based stain, and wash the boards with a deck cleaner first. Weathertex does not recommend clear coats or varnish.
