Can Scyon ™ Trim be stained?
Stains containing linseed oil are specifically designed for wood and may not be suitable for James Hardie cladding products, primed or unprimed.
Semi-transparent stains can vary in uniformity of appearance depending on method of application and conditions and will require a high level of skill and craftsmanship to achieve a uniform appearance.
Clear coats have not proven durable in exterior exposure and James Hardie considers them a maintenance item that may require application of a refurbishing sealer at regular intervals. James Hardie does not warrant the appearance or durability of semi-transparent stains and clear coats.
Does Scyon ™ Trim act as a weather tightness around windows and door openings?
No, appropriate flashing must be installed. Please refer to the appropriate external cladding technical documentation, building codes and standards for requirements.
Information is also available from BRANZ regarding good flashing practices.
Can Scyon ™ Trim be installed around my windows and door openings?
Yes, Scyon ™ Trim has been specifically designed for this application.
