          2.4FINISH
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** All Resysta products must be stained and sealed to prevent unwanted staining. Resysta Company highly recommends Resysta stains and sealers to be used on Resysta material. Use of non-approved water borne or oil based stain is not recommended and may violate the product warranty.
 
          2.5Resysta Color Concept provides unique opportunity to create stunning projects with the variety of over 30 colors. We pride ourselves to offer the only composite product on the market which can be refinished based on customers color preference.
 
          A.System:
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Water based stain for the color design of surfaces.
 
          B.Resysta Stain is a carefully mixed composition of the water-diluted paint system with the high quality pigments. The unique color of the surfaces is achieved by the interaction between the shade of the Resysta substrate and the transparent color hue of the stain. The overall outcome is determined by the amount of pigments applied, Therefore some colors appear to be less transparent than the others. Moreover, variations of the shade between boards stained with the same color are also to be expected, which adds to the unique visual properties of the Resysta material.
          1.Primer: RBP Resysta Base Primer is an aqueous, colorless primer based on an acrylate dispersion
          2.RCL Resysta Coating Layer is a water-based 1-component protective stain for color designing of Resysta surfaces. RCL finish is specially designed for indoor and outdoor use
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete colors not required. The first six colors listed are standard.
          3.Color: C08, Burma.

          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Examine substrate conditions before beginning installation; verify dimensions and acceptability of substrate.
          1.Determine substrate was installed to accommodate all loads imposed upon it by the Resysta Fiber Reinforced Decking and components supplied by other parties.
 
          B.Do not proceed with installation until unacceptable conditions have been corrected.
 
          C.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          D.If the decking is being installed in a location where the air gap below the decking is equal to or less than 6 inches (152 mm) from the underside of the decking substructure to the ground / solid structure the joist spacing shall be reduced to 12 inches (305 mm) center-to-center. Comply with manufacturer's installation guidelines.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Coordinate placement of bearing items.
 
          B.Apply one coat of bituminous paint to concealed surfaces that will be in contact with cementitious or dissimilar materials.
 
          C.Do not install materials until site pre-finishing is complete and dry.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION - BOARD DECKING
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Confirm that the drawing details reflect the manufacturer's assembly recommendations.
 
          A.Install sleepers, decking, trim and accessories per manufacturer's recommendations.
 
          B.Apply finish stain to individual decking planks and trim prior to installation before or after installation.
 
          C.Install decking perpendicular to framing members, with ends staggered over minimum 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) minimum firm bearing.
 
          D.Always consider the expansion/contraction of Resysta material and plan gaps at board abutment joints, termination points, and trim locations accordingly. Comply with manufacturer's installation guidelines.
 
          E.Secure with manufacturer's proprietary fastener system. Refer to Resysta Decking Installation Instructions for fasteners appropriate for the design and field conditions.
 
          F.Cut decking to accommodate roof drain and flange.
 
          G.Framing and decking shall be installed using the manufacturer's recommended joist spacing for the specific decking product being installed. If the decking is to be installed at any angle with respect to the framing substructure the maximum joist spacing must be reduced to maintain joist spacing along the length of the decking boards.
 
          H.Touch-up prefinished stained surfaces that are disfigured. Unsightly touch-up wall requires removal and replacement of affected decking.
 
          I.Sand work smooth with 24-36 grit sandpaper for color uniformity prior to staining.
