Store Smart 

• Keep ICON® boards protected in a shaded, dry area before installation.
  
  
• Stack materials flat on evenly spaced dunnage, a minimum of 12 inches off the ground, to allow airflow and prevent moisture absorption.
  
  
• Protect from direct sunlight and weather exposure, which can cause premature surface color changes.
  
  
• If stored outside, ICON® must be covered with a tarp to protect it from moisture and UV rays. 

Handle with Care 

• Avoid dragging or dropping boards to maintain edge integrity and surface finish.
• Please make sure to keep boards clean and free of debris to prevent discoloration of the material

Acclimate Before Installing 

Before fastening ICON® to any structure, allow it to acclimate on-site for at least 72 hours. This ensures the wood adjusts to local conditions—temperature, humidity, and airflow—helping prevent unnecessary movement and improving long-term performance.
