Painting and Staining or Natural Weathering

Preserve® Plus® can be painted or stained to match any outdoor color scheme. High quality oil-based paints and stains are recommended. Water repellent coatings can be applied to improve the long-term surface appearance of Preserve® Plus® Left uncoated or with clear water repellent coatings, Preserve® Plus® will initially weather to a natural brown color, eventually turning gray following long-term exposure to the sun.

It is important to ensure that the wood is dry and free from surface deposits prior to applying any coating.

Nails, Fasteners and Fittings

Hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and fittings are recommended. Anti-corrosion coatings applied to fasteners and fittings in contact with treated wood will enhance long-term performance. Direct contact of Preserve® treated wood with aluminum fasteners and fittings is not recommended.
