MAINTENANCE AND LIMITED

WAANTY INFORMATION

JELD-WEN manufactures premium, long lasting, exterior wood composite MiraTEC Trim. The products have been engineered to provide years

of satisfaction and performance when properly maintained. To ensure compliance with the provisions of the MiraTEC Limited Warranty the

following Homeowner Maintenance must be performed.

AN ANNUAL INSPECTION OF THE TRIM TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

1) Condition of Caulk and Sealant: Loose and cracked caulk or sealant must be removed and replaced with a good quality,

polyurethane sealant. Do not use hard-setting caulk.

2) Presence of Mildew: Mildew is a living organism (fungus) that grows on the surface of ﬁnishes giving the paint a darkened, dirty

appearance. Do not paint over mildew without cleaning the MiraTEC Trim with a mildew cleaning solution. Mildew cleaning

solutions, available at local paint, lumber and hardware stores, will help retard and control this growth. The control of mildew

on the surface of MiraTEC Trim is a homeowner responsibility. JELD-WEN, inc. will assume no responsibility for the treatment

or prevention of mildew.

3) Condition of Painted Trim: MiraTEC Trim are manufactured from wood and are primed. MiraTEC Trim must be painted with

an exterior coating designed for use on wood trim. Periodic washing of factory-ﬁnished or ﬁeld painted MiraTEC Trim with

water and mild detergent will remove accumulated dirt. Condition of the paint must be inspected and maintained as noted in

the following table.

CONDITION OF PAINT ACTION REQUIRED

Good condition/unbroken Clean and remove dirt

Thin, but unbroken ﬁnish Clean and apply two topcoats

Badly eroded, substrate showing Clean, prime, apply two topcoats

Crack, ﬂaking, substrate exposed Remove loose paint ﬁlm, clean, prime, and apply two topcoats

FINISH SELECTION:

PRIMER – Use an exterior oil or water based primer formulated for use on wood composite products which will seal the surface and is

compatible with the topcoat ﬁnish to be applied.

TOPCOATS – Use low or non-chalking exterior acrylic latex paint, low chalking acrylic or acrylic heavy bodied latex stain, or gloss or

semi-gloss oil base paint. All exposed MiraTEC Trim surfaces, including the bottom edges, must be well coated.

Do not use shake and shingle paints, ﬂat oil or ﬂat alkyd paints, vinyl acetate (PVA) vinyl acrylic, or vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer paints,

oil base transparent or opaque stains.

Due to variables involved in ﬁeld application of ﬁnishes, JELD-WEN cannot be responsible for the performance of ﬁeld-applied coatings.

4) Water Drainage/Diversion: Allowing water from roofs and sprinklers to run down the surface of the MiraTEC Trim can cause

discoloration and accelerated erosion of the paint. Locate landscape sprinklers so that water will not hit the MiraTEC Trim.

Appropriate action(s) must be taken to remedy any of the above noted conditions or the limited warranty will be void.
