Finishing

Punch nails, apply a clear, primer or sealer first coat and fill nail holes. There may be some fibre lift after the first coat which will require sanding.

Choose high quality paints, stains or clear coating systems to the manufacturers' specifications. Tinted clear finishes can be used to bring out the woodgrain effect.

For a natural timber look matt finishes and paints are recommended. If EliteLine is installed in wet areas such as bathrooms or laundries it should be protected by good quality coating systems.

If EliteLine is used as a soffit or porch lining LOSP H3.1 treated panels are recommended. Do not use where it is in all day sun as it is prone to sun checking (fine cracks caused by expansion & contraction).

Fire

Eliteline will come under section 3 of EarlyFire hazard Properties. To gain higher rating intumescent coating can be used.For technical information on these contact Firepro 09-579 2511.
