Installation - Painting

For best results, and in line with general industry best practices, LIFESPAN products should be painted as soon as possible after installation. To ensure your 30-year warranty, LIFESPAN should be over coated within two months of first installation. LIFESPAN’s smooth, defect free surface results from two coats of manufacturer applied, special purpose primer. Simply fill and prepare the wood for the finish coat using manufacturer’s specified instructions (e.g. use exterior filler if used on the outside of a building, spot prime and sand if necessary, clean and remove surface debris). Always follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendation for the application and maintenance of paint. For best results, choose a high-quality exterior acrylic/latex or oil-based paint system.
