GLUING
• For best results, glue all AZEK-to-AZEK joints such as AZEK Column Wrap, window
surrounds, long fascia runs, etc., with AZEK Adhesive to prevent joint separation.
• The glue joint should be fastened on each side of the joint to allow adequate
bonding time.
• AZEK Adhesive has a working time of 10 minutes and will be fully cured in 24 hours.
• If standard pvc cements are used, these products typically cure quickly which will
result in limited working time and may reduce
adhesive strength.
• For best results, surfaces to be glued should
be smooth, clean and in complete contact
with each other.
• For best results, always use a scarf joint with
two fasteners on each side instead of butt
joints.
• To bond AZEK Trim and Mouldings to other
substrates, various adhesive may be used. Consult adhesive manufacturer to
determine suitability.

PAINTING
• AZEK Trim and Moulding does not require paint for protection, but accepts and
holds paint very well.
• If you choose to paint, AZEK recommends using a 100% acrylic
latex paint with colors having a Light Reective Value (LRV) of
55 or higher. Refer to your paint manufacturer representative or
pre-nisher for color options and compatibility with AZEK Trim
and Mouldings.
• AZEK Trim and Moulding surfaces must be clean, dry, and void of
any foreign material such as dirt, oil, grease or other contaminates
that may come from normal handling, storage and/or installation
prior to painting.
• Moisture cycling is a main reason for paint failure on wood. Since
AZEK Trim and Moulding material absorbs almost no moisture,
paints last longer on AZEK Trim and Moulding products than it
does on wood.
• Since AZEK Trim and Moulding products have almost no moisture
absorption, paints may take longer to cure than on wood.
Generally paints used on AZEK Trim and Moulding products will
be dry to the touch quickly, but may take up to 30 days to fully
cure depending on the humidity and temperature.
• DISCLAIMER: AZEK’s Trim and Moulding Warranty does not
cover the performance of painted nishes or coating applied to
the Product by the original purchaser or any third party.
