How soon does WindsorONE need to be painted after installation?
Apply a topcoat as soon as possible and follow the highest industry wood and paint product practices. Apply paint according to manufacturers specifications and their recommended spread rates. Do not use paints with vinyl-based resin combinations. Brush application of primers and top-coats ensures best coverage and protection. For best top-coat results, apply two coats of a high quality, 100% acrylic latex paint. Apply the paint at the recommended spread rates. With WindsorONE boards, builders do have the flexibility to top-coat up to one year after installation. If WindsorONE material cannot be finished within one year, clean surface and re-prime with a quality, 100% acrylic latex-based wood primer. With WindsorONE Siding, builders should top-coat as soon as possible. Assure that all WindsorONE trim and WindsorONE Siding is dry before top-coating.
