Doors & Windows

• Entrance and garage doors as well as windows have a unique problem in that they have many joints and seams; therefore, a lot of open-end grains. If not properly treated, this could cause coating failure due to excess moisture intake.
• Additionally, the temperature difference that exists between the interior and exterior can cause moisture transport, which may lead to problems. To reduce or eliminate the possibility of coating failure in these situations, some simple procedures should be adhered to.

1. Doors should be coated on all sides including the top and bottom.
2. Windows should be coated well on the interior surface as well as the exterior.
3. If possible, coat the outside frame structure of the window.
4. Garage doors should be coated on the bottom and top of the door, replacing hardware only after the coating is dry.
5. Where there are holes or areas where the joinery meets, saturate
   heavily with the coating and, where necessary, fill with a good quality polyurethane or acrylic-based caulking.

Maintenance:

• A maintenance coat of Door and Window Clear every two (2) to three (3) years on the south & west-facing sides or heavily exposed areas.
• Reapply every three (3) to four (4) years on the north & east sides.
