For colors with a LRV of 55 or higher (the higher the LRV, the lighterthe color), you can safely use an acrylic latex paint.5. WORKS LIKE WOODRestoration Millwork cuts, mills, shapes and routs just like the finest woods you’ve everused. Woodworkers, carpenters and fine craftsmen appreciate the fact that no specialtools are needed — and that milled edges are smooth. Because Restoration Millworkhas a tight cell structure, cut edges are very close to factory finish. High-performancefeatures make Restoration Millwork the right choice for any non-weight-bearing exteriortrim application, and it can even be heat-formed for radius applications such as archedwindows and doorways.

TM6. PROTECTION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTSThe damaging effects of freezing and thawing during the winter months can be brutal onwood. Restoration Millwork is manufactured to resist these forces of nature. Cut edges willnot absorb moisture either, and it can be used at grade or in direct contact with concrete.Restoration Millwork is also impervious to wood-boring insect damage.Restoration Millwork meets the best fire classification in the millwork category — Class A(Class 1) Flame Spread Classification. This feature can be advantageous for homes and buildingslocated in more heavily wooded and forested areas or where building codes demand.7. 100% MATERIAL YIELDYou’ll appreciate the cost-effectiveness of Restoration Millwork over wood.
