Maintenance Requirements

Touch Up Paint: Fortress Black Sand Touch-Up Paint can be used to spray cut ends and any scratches or scus

on the framing. If that is unavailable, any other rust-inhibing spray paint can also be used. Be sure to choose a

color that closely matches the Fortress Black Sand powder coang.

When installed properly, Evoluon Framing is very low maintenance. It's galvanized as well as powder coated

which protects it extremely well from the outdoor elements.

During the installaon process, it’s important to visually inspect all the framing parts and cover any exposed

steel with the before-menoned touch up paint. Not doing so could result in corrosion and void the

manufacturer’s warranty.

During installaon, all cut ends of the framing parts must be covered with Fortress approved touch-up paint.

It’s a good pracce to periodically inspect your Evoluon Steel Deck Framing. Fortress recommends an

inspecon 2 years aer installaon and then every 3-5 years thereaer. The inspecon should be completed by

a qualied building professional or qualied homeowner. If problems are noced contact the original installers

All scratches, dings, dents, etc. that expose raw steel must be covered with Touch-Up Paint to prevent rust from

occurring. Simply apply enough paint to cover the exposed steel.
