The key advantage of using microporous, or “breathable” products, is the finish will not peel, crack or suffer from premature erosion of the film if the decorative finish is correctly maintained. For optimum protection, each VUFOLD set undergoes an intensive 3 stage finishing process. In respect of the Oak and Hardwood models, the first stage uses Sikkens Cetol SP 520 Base Coat, which is comprehensively applied to every part of the frames and doors, inside and out, to ensure maximum protection. Stage 2 involves completely sealing the end grain of the wood at the top and bottom of the door stiles and at all joints with special Sikkens Kodrin products. Finally, two spray coats of Sikkens Top Coat are applied to all surfaces, inside and out, which in respect of the Oak sets is a clear Cetol Filter 7, in respect of the Hardwood sets is Cetol Filter 7 translucent and in respect of the White sets is Rubbol BL Satura. The final result, in all cases, is a fantastic, durable finish, which affords superior protection and enhances the doors’ appearance. Depending on location and weather conditions, re-coating is recommended every one to five years, but it is also important to check the finish every six months, and re-coat as necessary, to properly maintain the decorative finish. For when re-coating is required or should remedial repairs to any small scratches or scuffs be necessary, Sikkens products are widely available from retail stores throughout the UK and ROI.
