Installation Best Practices

Protect the performance. Preserve the appearance.

Like all natural wood products, Yukari responds to moisture, humidity, and temperature. Proper acclimation, sealing, fastening, airflow, and seasonal maintenance are critical to long-term appearance and performance.

•Seal all six sides, including raw surfaces, tongue, groove, and end cuts.
•Acclimate material at the job site in a dry, well-ventilated area for 10 to 14 days prior to installation.
•Provide adequate airflow and allowances for expansion and contraction.
•Use stainless steel fasteners. Screws are recommended.
•Avoid galvanized fasteners due to potential tannin reaction, staining, or corrosion.
•Inspect seasonally and re-apply finish or sealer to joints, exposed ends, and faces as needed.
