ACI FACTORY FINISHING

ACI Pre-finishing assures that a uniform coat of primer or stain is applied to ALL sides in a controlled environment. ACI finishes are applied under factory controlled conditions and the most stringent quality control procedures are followed. All six sides of the board, including the butt-ends, are completely covered ensuring the ultimate protection from nature's elements. The finish is brushed deep into the surface for maximum penetration. it is then allowed to dry thoroughly thus stabilizing the siding and preventing possible shrinkage. ACI finished siding arrives at the construction site protected from exposure to water and sunlight.

 

 

The aci FINISHING process

• Controlled temperature and humidity levels stabilize any moisture in the wood; application conditions are optimal.

• Natural wood or engineered siding is fed into the machine applicator and flooded with Cabot® Factory Finish Porducts.

• Pressure rollers spread the coating evenly. High speed brushes drive the Finish into all six sides of the wood for maximum protection. BACK PRIMING reduces shrinking and swelling and improves siding durability.

• quality checks are preformed every 90 pieces to insure uniform coverage which provides a beautiful factory finish with the highest outdoor performance standards.

• Factory finished materials are placed in an oven or air-dried in our temperature controlled warehouse.

• Upon drying a special plastic cover wrap is then secured to all sides of your order. This eliminates additional exposure to unwanted exterior elements.

• The factory finished product is now Ready for delivery and installation. All on your schedule!
