Synotex Fiber Cement Decking

Step 1 Surface preparation: New fiber cement – the surface should be completely dry and free of grease, dirt and dust. During application the moisture content should not exceed 14%. Old fiber cement – if the old paint film is chalking or peeling, sand and strip off all deteriorated old paint. Tips: if the surface has mould or moss, clean it off completely first with Beger MouldFree M-001 water-based mould and moss remover and let it dry completely. If the surface has hairline cracks, nail holes or board joints, fill them with Beger Acrylic Filler F-200 for small cracks (up to 1 mm). Good surface preparation with no dusty or loose areas gives the best adhesion

Step 2 Primer: apply 1 coat of Synotex F-6100 clear primer for fiber cement artificial wood. Tips: priming before the topcoat helps prevent water from seeping into the fiber cement surface and improves adhesion between the surface and the topcoat, giving the topcoat a color closer to natural wood. Finish cutting the fiber cement boards before priming

Step 3 Topcoat: Fiber cement wood floors – apply 2 coats of Synotex Fiber Cement semi-transparent artificial wood floor paint. For extra protection of the floor, you can apply a clear coat (gloss TG-7000 / matte TM-7000)
