Weathering and Maintenance

A surface that evolves with the environment.

Kebony develops a rich brown color through the modification process. That color can be maintained with a clear coat or allowed to patina naturally into a silver-gray tone over time.

For most exterior applications, Kebony requires no maintenance beyond normal cleaning. Always review current product documentation before specification, finishing, installation, or maintenance.

Care Notes

•	Allow material to weather naturally to a silver-gray patina.
•	Maintain the rich brown appearance with a clear coat when required by the design intent.
•	Clean as needed using normal cleaning practices.
