All 16 lengths... no trim-backs.

wood no grain raising or grain swelling means better long-term coating adhesion

No VOC 100% acrylic topcoat

Durable enough for exterior use, beautiful enough to feature on the interior

Available in 100% 16' lengths, 4/4" and 5/4"thickness Carefully packaged and protected to ensure clean, dry material

How is it Coated? Water never touches the wood - oil primer to seal. High quality alkyd primer is the first application, followed by a no VOC 100% acrylic topcoat. TiO2 Titanium White trim boards uses one of the most durable exterior coatings designed for wood substrate available. A topcoat, while recommended, is not required for one year. Why is an oil primer and latex top coat system better than two coats of latex or two coats of oil? Water never touches the raw wood - no grain raising or grain swelling, better long-term adhesion. The TiO2 coating system provides genuine long-term protection for the substrate - oil primers by themselves, do not. Why is TiO2 better than other trim products? Longer lasting - true exterior topcoat versus multiple coats of primer. Product is durable enough to be used on the exterior and beautiful enough to use on the interior. FSC certified substrate coated in an FSC approved outsource coating facility. No plastic slip sheets between board layers to dispose of. What are the packaging specifications? 750 board foot units...smaller than competitors 1,000 to 1,500bf units. All boards are individually end-tagged for easy identification. Units have top and bottom cardboard protection prior to application of a fitted TiO2 lumber bag. Three stickers and three straps minimize potential shifting in units.

Quick Facts TiO2 Titanium White should always be kept in a dry location and allowed to reach equalibrium prior to installation

Install product over a WeatherResistant Barrier such as TYPAR

TiO2 Titanium White Trim Boards

Tio2 Titanium White Handling and Installation Tips

Product must be kept dry at all times prior to installation. Keep TiO2 Titanium White elevated at least 6 off the ground with a vapor barrier underneath the product and a loose waterproof cover over the finish boards that allows adequate air circulation. Avoid storage in direct sun. TiO2 Titanium White Installation Tips 1. Product must be installed over a Weather-Resistant Barrier such as TYPAR. Dry (15% moisture or less) framing and sheathing is essential prior to installation of the WRB. 2. All end cuts and rip cuts must be immediately primed with a high quality white exterior oil-alkyd primer while avoiding overlap on the finished face of the TiO2 Titanium White. 3. Product should be fastened using stainless steel or or hot-dipped galvanized nails driven flush to the substrate surface. Avoid sinking the fastener head beyond the board surface. Coat fastener device heads immediately after installation with a white exterior oil-alkyd stain-blocking primer. Coat the immediate area around the fastener head only. 4. Product should be installed at least 6 inches off the ground. Avoid direct contact against cement, brick or asphalt and provide enough space for future landscaping below. 5. Proper window and door flashing is necessary. 6. All avenues for exterior water intrusion should be immediately caulked with a high performance acrylic exterior caulk. Moisture: Limiting changes in moisture content will improve the overall performace of the TiO2 Titanium White product. Moisture infiltration is not a paint or wood defect and is not covered by any warranty, expressed or implied. To control moisture and help prevent possible problems, take the following steps: Proper building design that includes adequate roof overhang, flashing at roof edges, gutters and downspouts aid in reducing potential moisture infiltration. Always allow several days for product to reach elqualibrium before job site installation Completely seal all cut ends and rip cuts to minimize moisture infiltration Interior vapor barriers will help reduce condensation within the wall Properly ventilate bathrooms and laundries to control indoor humidity Ventilate attics, dehumidify damp basements and carefully control humidification systems Field Applied Topcoats TiO2 Titanium White should be installed according to above instructions. It is highly advisable to topcoat as soon as possible however; TiO2 Titanium White may be left uncoated for up to one year. Always follow paint manufacturers suggested application guidelines when selecting a field applied topcoat.

For best results when installing TiO2 Titanium White, use stainless steel or hot dipped galvanized nails

Nails should be driven an 1-1/2" or more through dry sheathing and framing lumber

Re-coat exposed butt scarf joint ends and rip cuts with oil-alkyd stain-blocking primer to reduce moisture penetration

For best results, brush apply two coats of a high quality, exterior 100% acrylic color paint as soon as possible
