Due to the composite containing natural wood which expands and contracts, the holes for fixation should be pre-drilled at 19mm and fixed with a 32mm washer and suitable screw that will fit the diameter of the washer to allow movement of the eco-tuff product. To ensure a good aesthetic, the eco-tuff product should be lightly sanded, wiped with a damp cloth and then painted with two coats of Marley M22 Ultimo Multi-surface Paint. Before fixing, washers and the heads of the screws must be spot primed with Marley Zinc Phosphate Water-based Primer. Once fixed, finish with two coats of Marley M22 Ultimo Multi-surface paint. In Climatic Zones where there is knowledge of the occurrence of high wind gusts and sever lifting forces (i.e. certain coastal areas, highveld storm areas, wind funelling or other effects), the washer with screw as minimum fixing specification will also prevent pull-out of the fastener.

Marley's Eco-Tuff Barge Board, Facias and natural Corner Pieces have a brushed open grain finish and is meant to be painted – a good quality roof paint should be used whereby no primer is required. In areas with high humidity, it is advisable to paint brushed Eco Tuff products as soon as possible to prevent any unnecessary expansion due to the natural tendency of wood expanding and contracting.

Marley's Eco Tuff Corner Pieces/ Trims are available in a range of gloss finished colours that require no further coatings.
