Change your exterior cladding? Here's what you should know about factory treatment

Spring is peak season for renovations, and you may be thinking about refurbishing, rebuilding or building something new? The exterior cladding in particular is something which is often replaced or upgraded during the mild weather of spring.

When you start your project, it gives you peace of mind knowing that both the primer and the first coat can already be applied, saving you hours of work.

Advantages of opaque paint or stain on exterior cladding

Most of us choose to change our clothing in the spring when the weather is both mild and bright. Before you decide on cladding, you need to find out what colours you want – either opaque painted or stained.

Remember that opaque paint gives you longer maintenance intervals than stain, i.e. you don't have to repaint as often. Nevertheless, local climatic conditions affect the need for maintenance, so inspect the cladding regularly and maintain as needed.

Key benefits of factory-treated cladding from Vyrk

At Vyrk, we supply cladding from our production that is pre-primed and with one coat, applied under ideal temperatures and with a precise application amount. If you choose our factory-treated cladding, you avoid conversion rot and shrinkage streaks – common problems that often appear on self-treated panels.

We first treat the cladding with primer, which absorbs into the wood and prepares the cladding for the first coat. When the primer has completely dried, we apply the intermediate coat with our spraying machine that covers the entire board. The panel boards pass through our machine at a controlled speed, ensuring the correct application rate and consistent quality.

Save time and money with pre-finished exterior cladding

If you value efficiency, you'll love factory-finished cladding. Both the primer and the intermediate coat have already been applied, so when you install the cladding, only the top coat remains.

Want to save even more time? Paint the last coat immediately after you have put up the cladding. Admittedly, you can wait up to two years before the topcoat is applied, but by painting right away, you give your cladding thicker protection for increased longevity. At the same time, you don't have to clean the house before you apply the top coat – another time saver in today's busy everyday life.

Economic and practical benefits of treated cladding

If you choose pre-finished cladding from Vyrk, you save both money and valuable time. You also get cladding that is protected from the moment it is installed. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions – we will help you find the perfect solution for your project.
