Coating
In semi-exposed applications, it is essential that a mould preventer additive is used to ensure against mould growing on the coating. If you are to coat the panels on site, this anti-mould product can be purchased from Bunnings. For more information on mould prevention, view our Resources page.
The coating must be water based and oil-based can react with the glueline & possibly leading to delamination.
