Is the Atelier Brushed-Grain Decking UV resistant?

​

Our Atelier Brushed-Grain Decking range has a two-stage UV resistant coating system with a washable surface. In effect, the coating system has been made flexible to accommodate any subtle movement in the timber.

This coating will also resist flaking, cracking and peeling, it is also Non-Flammable and has a low VOC, so it can be used internally and externally. Our sample panels have been walked over as doormats continuously with work boots for the past 18 months in our yard and the colour still remains.

​

Why should I consider colour coated decking? 

​

We often get asked this question and to be honest it’s not essential for improving the longevity of the timber, but it is a valid point.

In the past, the main reason that people painted their timber cladding was that they purchased lower quality softwood.

Then in order to help protect it and to prevent the UV sunlight from fading the timber to a dull grey with blackened knots, they would paint the boards mainly black.

An example of this can be seen on many barns and older style houses.

​

Is there any ongoing maintenance with the Atelier Brushed-Grain Decking?

​

Nowadays, advances in technology on timber and paint production have moved. So, providing the timber cladding has fairly low and stable moisture content and the correct paint is applied, then ongoing maintenance will be very low. The colouring of Atelier Brushed-Grain Decking will be more about the aesthetics and design intent instead of protecting the timber from the weather.

Our Atelier collection is coated and sealed using our specially formulated QFlex® - A flexible, UV, Coater/Sealer.
