Wooden exterior walls, weatherboards etc.

Sawn wood surfaces 4–6 m²/l. Planed and previously painted wood surfaces 7–9 m²/l.

Waterborne

spraying, brush, airless spraying

The surface to be treated must be dry, the temperature of the air at least +5°C and the relative humidity of the air below 80% during treatment and drying.

Unpainted surfaces: Clean the untreated wood surface of any dirt, mold and loose material. Wash dirty or moldy surfaces with Tikkurila Homeenpoisto Mold Removal solution according to the instructions. Prime the surface at the earliest possible stage of construction with Tikkurila priming oil. Protect any metal parts prone to rust, such as nail heads, with Rostex Super Akva metal primer. Remove loose resin from knots. Factory-primed and previously painted surfaces: Clean the wooden surface of any dirt, mold and loose material. Remove as much of the old paint as will come off with a scraper and brush the surface clean with a wire brush. Wash dirty or moldy surfaces with Tikkurila Homeenpoisto Mold Removal solution according to the instructions. Treat bare wood surfaces with Tikkurila priming oil.

First coat:

Unpainted surfaces: Prime the surfaces with a single coat of Ultra Primer or Teho Primer. Paint the surfaces 1-2 times with Ultra Classic house paint. Treat the end grains of wood with particular care. Factory-primed surfaces: Treat factory-primed surfaces in good condition with Ultra Primer (factory-primed surfaces that have been exposed to weathering over 10 months should be primed with Teho Primer), finish with Ultra Classic House Paint 1-2 times. Old painted surfaces: Treat surfaces previously painted with oil paint or acrylic paint 1-2 times with Ultra Classic House Paint depending on the condition of the old surface and the difference in color. If needed, prime the old oil paint surface with Teho Primer or Ultra Primer, and the old acrylic paint surface with Ultra Primer. Finish with Ultra Classic House Paint. Stir the paint carefully before use and thin with water if required. Spread with brush or high-pressure sprayer. Treat the end grains of wood with particular care. Make sure you have enough paint stirred in one can for one uniform surface to avoid color differences. Wood contains resin and other staining extracts, particularly around knots, which can cause discoloration or bleeding in the painted surface due to variations in temperature and humidity. Using a primer (Teho Primer or Ultra Primer) reduces the risk of seepage.

Maintenance Painting:

Ultra Classic can be re-painted with the house paints of the Ultra serie, Pika-Teho or Vinha.

Handle the painted surface with care, as the product reaches its final hardness and durability in about 4 weeks under normal conditions. If a surface needs cleaning soon after treatment, use a soft brush, a damp cloth or a mop. After one month from painting, a dirty surface can be cleaned with Talonhuoltopesu (mix 1 part of Talonhuoltopesu with 10 parts of water). Clean stains and very dirty surfaces with a stronger Huoltopesu solution (1:1). After washing, rinse the surfaces and allow to dry.
