Will Vinyl Trim Support A Storm Door?
I recently replaced my entry door and now it's time to install a new
storm door. The Question: Does 5/4 x 4 vinyl trim have as much holding strength as wood? Can I hang a full view storm door from it? The Background: Due to the gap between the jamb and the siding (3") I can't use standard brick mold. What was used previously was some 1" (a full 1") x ~3" wood wrapped in aluminum. The wood and alumnum are beat up and won't be reinstalled. Per the manufacturer, I need to use material that is 1" thick to mount the storm door to, so I was planning on ripping down some 5/4" x 4" vinyl trim to fill the gap and then hang the storm door from that. (I used vinyl trim around a window I installed, and it was quite easy to work with, but I didn't have to hang any weight off of that trim.) |
