Painting and Staining or Natural Weathering
ACQ can be painted or stained to match any outdoor color scheme. High quality
oil and latex-based paints and stains are recommended. Water repellent coatings
can be applied to improve the weathering performance. Left uncoated or with clear
water repellent coatings, ACQ 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 acceptable
for use with ACQ treated wood. Direct contact of Preserve treated wood with aluminum
fasteners and fittings is not recommended.
