Can I paint, sand, or modify my POLYWOOD furniture?
POLYWOOD lumber is designed to be low maintenance. It doesn't require painting, sanding, or refinishing to keep it looking its best; these kinds of modifications will void your warranty.
Additional Information:
-
Painting and refinishing:
POLYWOOD lumber is made from high-density polyethylene, a non-porous plastic that doesn’t hold paint or stain well. Any applied finish will eventually chip or peel.
-
Sanding:
The surface of POLYWOOD lumber is crafted to resemble natural wood. Sanding can damage the texture and affect its appearance.
-
Structural modifications:
Structural changes, like drilling holes or adding wheels, can make your furniture unsafe and will void the warranty.
