PVC exterior trim
Does anyone have experience with this stuff? I've got some rotting trimwork
that needs replacing, and I'm considering using this stuff. Thanks. |

The stuff expands and contracts with changes in temperature and you have to allow for that. Painting it too dark of a color will exacerbate the temperature-based movement and may cause the PVC to deform. Other than that it works much like wood. Check out Versatex and Azek products. R |

I've used it as baseboard in the garages on some of the houses I build and it seems to hold up well for that particular area ... pretty cheesy looking just about anywhere else, IMO. Otherwise, it's western red cedar, or Hardi trim ... -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

PVC exterior trim
I have used it for door trim and love it . The old adage vinyl is final. My
house is aluminum and vinyl Maintenance Free It has been on 2 years with no problems. The only problem I have seen with vinyl is poor installation practices and the job looked bad because of this.
