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.

Latex with LRV

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 Reflective Value (LRV) of 55 or higher. Refer to
your paint manufacturer representative or pre-finisher 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 finishes or coating applied to the Product by the
original purchaser or any third party.
