URETHANE MILLWORK FAQS
Do all urethane products come painted and ready to install?
The pre-primed surface is ready to stain or paint. Urethane products need to be painted. We
recommend painting the product before installation and touching it up after installation is completed.
Exterior product must be painted with an exterior grade 100% acrylic latex paint.
What kind of paint do I use after installation?
100% acrylic latex paint. Since all polyurethane products are subject to thermal expansion and
contraction, it is recommended that consideration to lighter paints be selected in your choice of
colors, as darker colors absorb more radiation from the sun than lighter colors. Flat, eggshell and satin
finishes are recommended due to their slight porous nature during the curing process.
What are its best uses for the building industry?
Due to the ability to mold the material, decorative trims with detailed designs are easy to produce.
Large moulding profiles can be made from one piece of urethane, instead of layering wood to create
the same look. This saves on labor and time.
How do I prevent UV fading/deterioration?
UV rays do not affect properly finished product. Exterior product must be painted with an exterior
grade 100% acrylic latex paint.
Anything special I should know about storing urethane products?
These products can be stored either inside or outside, but not in extreme heat. Products should be
stored as it is intended to be installed. For optimum use, polyurethane compatible adhesive should be
stored at room temperature until ready to use. Acclimate urethane products before installation up to
10 hours.
What are the recommended fastening procedures for urethane?
Please see installation instructions for part specific recommended fastening procedures. Note that
products should never be installed with fasteners that are susceptible to corrosion, and proper use of
glue and adhesives is crucial for correct installation.
Are your urethane products just decorative?
Polyurethane products are most commonly used for decorative purposes as the material by itself is
non-structural. Even so, many polyurethane items do serve a functional purpose, like gable vents that
help with attic ventilation or ceiling medallions that cover unsightly holes in the ceiling.
