Cutting and Gluing MicroShades Decking Boards
Preserved wood like MicroShades should not be cut or otherwise reworked, as this will expose unpreserved wood. If cutting cannot be avoided, then precautions should be taken when using:
- high-speed cross-cut saws
- mechanical sanders
Any surface exposed by drilling or cutting must be retreated with a cut-end preservative. Failure to do this will reduce the effectiveness of the preservative. On the other hand, Micronised timber can be glued with most commonly used adhesives once dry. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer’s recommendations.
Which fasteners and hardware should you use?
When dealing with treated wood, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Certain metal products (fasteners, hardware, flashing) can corrode on direct contact with copper-treated wood
- To prevent early corrosion and failure, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for all metal products
- For exterior use, choose fasteners and hardware aligned with the manufacturer’s advice and building codes
- Avoid using Micronised timber where moisture can get trapped; not suitable for wet conditions
- If continuous wet conditions are expected, opt for stainless steel fasteners
MicroShades Decking Board Finishes
Before applying paint, stain, a clear water-repellent or other finish to your impregnated wood, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions and label of the finishing product. Before you begin, we recommend that you first apply the finishing product to a small exposed test area to ensure that it gives the intended result before proceeding to complete the entire project.

How to dispose of MicroShades Decking Boards?
Micronised timber that is no longer usable, such as off-cuts, broken boards, sawdust or preserved wood material is taken out of service and must be disposed of in accordance with national waste regulations.
