Frequently asked

Is it real wood? No — how realistic is it?

The grain is pulled with a template tool, so knots and stripes look hand-crafted. Sample boards are available before you commit.

Does it work on outdoor steel railings?

Yes — that is its main use: anti-rust primer + system, tested ≥ 500 h salt spray.

Is it fire-safe compared with real wood?

Yes, on non-combustible substrates the system keeps the substrate's fire class — a key selling point vs. timber cladding.

What is included in one order?

All four components with matched quantities, grain tools on request, and an illustrated application manual in English.
