Installation Guide

Painting
Veranda Trim does not require painting for
protection. Use paints that are 100% acrylic latex
or acrylic latex with urethane additive.
**CAUTION: PAINTING ANY CELLULAR PVC
TRIM DARK COLORS CAN RESULT IN POOR
PERFORMANCE AND WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY. USE PAINTS WITH A LIGHT
REFLECTIVE VALUE (LRV) OF 55 UNITS OR
GREATER.
Options for Dark Colors: Consult AquaSur
Tech OEM or Blue River Coatings on “heat
reflective” paints in applications where the paint
color has an LRV value less than 55 units. When
using paints, the liability of performance rests
with the paint manufacturer. “Heat reflective”
paints with an LRV between 45 and 55 have
proven successful in the field.
Tips on Painting
• To obtain adequate paint adhesion, be sure
the surface of the Trimboard is clean, dry
and free of dirt, loose or peeling paint,
mildew, chalk, grease and any other surface
contaminants before applying paint. Use a
mild detergent (Spic ’n Span®) and water or
denatured alcohol for cleaning.
• Paint can take up to 30 days to fully cure
depending on outside temperatures and
humidity conditions.
• Follow the paint manufacturer’s surface
preparation and application
recommendations.
• Before painting, remove any mold or mildew
using a mixture of three parts water and two
parts bleach.
• If you paint Veranda Trim a dark color, you
must first remove it before applying a lighter
color paint with an LRV of 55 units or
greater.
• Paint life is longer when applied to Veranda
Trim versus wood due to the absence of
moisture in our trim.
Cleaning
• Veranda Trim will not support mold and
mildew growth.
• If products get dirty, clean with products like
Soft Scrub® with Bleach, Spic ’n Span®,
Clorox® Regular Bleach, Clorox® Clean-
Up®, Clorox® Outdoor Bleach Cleaner,
OxiClean™, or Corte Clean. Use a nylon
brush for stubborn stains. Use 320 grit sand
paper to reduce cell size on cut edges of
boards.
• Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area
before use.
!
Storage and Handling!
• Store Veranda Trim on a flat level surface as
it has a tendency to conform to the surface
on which it is stored.!
• Handle Veranda Trim as you would a
premium lumber to avoid damage.!
• Keep Veranda Trim free of dirt and debris.
Clean Veranda Trim after installation as
described above. !
• Do not store or place on asphalt or in areas
prone to excessive heat build-up.!
Moisture
Veranda Trim can be installed at or below grade,
as it does not absorb moisture. Veranda Trim is
perfect for use in moisture-prone applications
such as garage door jambs, column wraps,
ground contact, masonry contact, hot tub
surrounds, and at rooflines.
Safety!
• All machining should be done in a well
ventilated area.!
• Safety glasses should be worn whenever
you are working with Veranda Trim.!
• When cutting with a power saw, a dust mask
is recommended.!
