† Under average climatic conditions. *Keruing <strong>is</strong> a naturally resinous wood. Resin exudates may occur and lead to an unattractive appearance. **Meranti wood will not grey when treated with Weathershield Naked Wood, but some<br />
fading of the natural red col<strong>our</strong> may occur over time. Wood <strong>is</strong> a natural substrate and performance varies on different types of wood (and in some cases even on different planks of the same wood). The climate, aspect and details of the site<br />
will also affect the performance. The Weathershield Naked Wood system has been extensively tested on a variety of wood species and a guide to performance <strong>is</strong> indicated in the table above. Information about other wood species are<br />
available on request from the ICI Paints AkzoNobel Technical Advice Centre on 08444 817 818.<br />

Protection for bare wood<br />
Wood can look great when <strong>first</strong> put up<br />
but as the wood weathers it can swell,<br />
warp, crack and d<strong>is</strong>col<strong>our</strong>. Naked Wood<br />
<strong>is</strong> formulated for use on cladding.<br />
The Weathershield Naked Wood System from <strong>Dulux</strong> <strong>Trade</strong><br />
uses unique ICI Paints AkzoNobel flexible polyurethane<br />
technology to produce a formulation that provides superb<br />
protection for the new or bare wood while allowing the wood’s<br />
inherent beauty to be seen. The complementary Weathershield<br />
Naked Wood Basecoat(BP)# offers excellent protection against<br />
blue stain, fungi and UV rays.<br />

ARCHITECT: John Pardey<br />
When renowned architect John Pardey was tasked with creating a<br />
bespoke home in Berkshire, h<strong>is</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ion was to produce a beautiful<br />
timber exterior which complemented its countryside setting. An<br />
essential specification of h<strong>is</strong> design was that the natural col<strong>our</strong> and<br />
fin<strong>is</strong>h of the wood cladding should be conserved over time, so he<br />
turned to woodcare experts <strong>Dulux</strong> <strong>Trade</strong>.<br />
The solution lay in Weathershield Naked Wood products from<br />
<strong>Dulux</strong> <strong>Trade</strong>, which deliver a fin<strong>is</strong>h previously unattainable in<br />
“Weathershield Naked Wood <strong>is</strong><br />
the only product that delivers<br />
a ‘fin<strong>is</strong>h free’ result, with<br />
lasting col<strong>our</strong> protection.”<br />
Trusted by Henry Goss,<br />
John Pardey Architects.<br />
woodcare - a truly clear coating with a natural matt fin<strong>is</strong>h for inv<strong>is</strong>ible<br />
protection against d<strong>is</strong>col<strong>our</strong>ation.<br />
Nominated for several design awards, the building’s natural beauty<br />
will continue to shine through for years to come.<br />
