PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 9. WALL AND CEILING FINISH

9.13 Clear Interior Finishes Have Deteriorated

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Clear interior finishes shall not deteriorate to the extent that they expose the substrate beneath.

Virtually all applied finishes will fade when exposed to sunlight over time. Areas of intense, direct sunlight exposure will tend to fade faster than other, more shaded areas. Direct sunlight may cause the underlying substrate to fade and the clear finish to “yellow."

Clear finishes on fine woods are influenced by the wood substrate and the moisture balance in that wood.

Warranty Coverage
