  SHADOWCLAD® PLYWOOD CLADDING
  Colours & Textures : Treatment

Treatment
Shadowclad is available with a specially formulated factory applied powder coat exterior primer (beige). The powder coat is baked onto the rough sawn surface providing Shadowclad with exceptional resistance to the effects of sun and weather.

Unlike liquid primers, the powder coating process prepares the surface with a continuous film across all edges, over the shiplap and enrobes the surface fibres. The powder is then baked onto the surface of the panels, cross-linking and bonding to the wood surface until it is cured to an impervious continuous finish.

Features of the powder coated Shadowclad surface include:
  • High film build of 70 microns, which is 2 - 3 times the thickness of typical water based primed surfaces.
  • The continuous powder coated surface is water repellent and saves time and costs when top coated.
  • As there are no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the powder, Shadowclad is safe to handle and cut.
  • Pre-primed Shadowclad can be exposed for up to 3 months prior to top coating.
  • Suitable for film forming stains.
  • More authentic and accurate top coat colour reproduction.

Paint Recommendations

For best results when painting on primed Shadowclad, use high quality paints such as Taubmans Sunproof Max Acrylic Low Sheen (D134) with a brush or roller. Wood-mans Cladcoat film forming stains also provide outstanding UV resistance and protection against cracking and peeling.

Prior to painting, ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free from dust, oil and grease.

Spreading rates 14 m² / litre

Recoat Time: 2 hours

We recommend painting within 3 months of installation or external exposure. Sheets should be aired 5 days prior to painting to dissipate Light Organic Solvent Preservative (LOSP).

Shadowclad can also be stained with Cabots and Intergrain exterior stains.

In high exposure areas, we recommend 1 coat of Wood-mans Prime All UV transparent primer containing a fungicide for protection against mould for up to 12 weeks prior to top coating with additional UV protection. Top coat with Wood-mans transparent Cladcoat - an acrylic system providing protection against cracking and peeling.
