Can I paint, sand, refinish, or modify my furniture?
We advise against painting, sanding, refinishing, or modifying your furniture in any way, as doing so will void the product warranty.
Additional Information:
- Painting and refinishing: Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber is made with high-density polyethylene, a non-porous plastic that doesn’t absorb paint or stain well. Over time, any finish applied will likely chip or peel.
- Sanding: Because our lumber is designed to mimic natural wood, sanding can harm its texture and appearance.
- Structural modifications: Altering your furniture by drilling holes or adding wheels can compromise its safety and will void the warranty.
