Safety Guidelines

Follow EPA guidelines for lead paint removal and use appropriate PPE including respirator, gloves, and protective clothing. Contain work areas and dispose of paint debris responsibly. Speedheater's lower-temperature infrared technology helps reduce lead dust and fume risks when proper protocols are followed.

Best Practices for Quality Results

• Surface Preparation: After stripping to bare wood, sand and prime with quality products for optimal paint adhesion
• Address Issues First: Repair rotting wood, failing caulk, or drainage problems before finishing work
• Wood Conditioning: Oil-based primer on bare, older wood ensures proper bonding and moisture protection
• Application Method: Brush application works paint into wood grain for enhanced longevity
