Q. Does the decking or cladding require painting/treating?
A. Lignum WPC products are already coloured so do not require painting at all. Also, due to the plastic content within Lignum products, there is no need for any further treatment. This also makes it easy to clean.
Q. Can your products get marked?
A. Lignum WPC products are manufactured to withstand the elements, but to ensure their lasting beauty we recommend taking extra care when moving plant pots and furniture, etc around your deck. Any marks will naturally weather and blend in with the rest of the board after 2-3 months. Natural tannin water marks may also appear in the first 1-2 months after installing. This is the natural tannin oils being released from the wood powder and will wash away over time or can be remover with warm soapy water.
Q. How do I clean my WPC Deck?
A. Lignum WPC Deck can be cleaned in a variety of ways dependent on the mark or stain you need to remove. In the first instance you can try cleaning your deck or cladding surface with soapy warm water and a soft bristled brush without using any harsh water.
As long as you clean with the proper cleaning precautions, you can power wash your Lignum composite products. We recommended a maximum pressure of 1500psi. You should also ensure to spray in the direction of the grain of the boards and use a fan tip nozzle (min. 6 inches from surface). Water should be fresh to avoid any stains from in on the material.
