FAQs

Woodhouse Weatherproof® is a product for now and the future with a range to cater for all applications.  With products such as the F7 Structural and GL8 Laminated Beams as part of the range, the end user has options to build pergolas, decks and other designs with a durable and Pre-primed product.

Ensure that all Weatherproof products are kept dry and away from moisture prior to installation to minimise the potential of degradation on-site.  It is advisable to wear appropriate protective equipment when handling, cutting and working with all Weatherproof.  Gloves, dust mask and goggles are recommended to protect against dust and airborne particles.  Fill any nail holes and defects with a wood filler, sand and spot prime to restore the coating.   Coat any exposed timber with an in-can preservative resealer (such as Protim XJ or Tanalised Enseal) and then re-coat with a quality primer (acrylic or oil based) prior to final finishing.  The important points to remember are to reseal the protective barrier created by the LOSP and then re-apply a primer to repair the coating.

Use hot dipped galvanised fixings to install all Weatherproof products.  Check the manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure that any fixing selected is non-corrosive.

Dispose of all offcuts and waste as you would normal building waste. Do not burn/incinerate any shavings, sawdust or offcuts in open fires or barbeques. Do not use shavings on gardens or for landscaping.
