MACHINING:

MiraTEC trim can be grooved or machined to produce a variety of decorative applications. The

machined proﬁle should not compromise the physical integrity of the board or induce cracking or

splitting of the product. Routed or grooved MiraTEC trim should not have any ﬂat surfaces where

water can accumulate. Maintain an angle of at least 100 degrees from the vertical to provide posi

tive drainage and to prevent moisture from standing on the surface. Re-prime all machined areas

with a high quality exterior oil or acrylic latex primer formulated for composite wood. JELD-WEN,

inc. recommends using an oil-based primer.

STORAGE:

Cover when stored outside. Keep MiraTEC trim off the ground and dry. Excessive moisture

pickup from improper storage may affect the performance of MiraTEC trim. Do not stack

material in excess of 3 units high.

For job site storage, the material should be placed on stringers and covered, preferably on

concrete, asphalt, or a similar surface. For all other instances, a tarp should be placed over

the ground cover under the stringers, with the material still under cover.
