Does paying twice as much for PVC trim seem worth it to you?

I like using pvc it tools well, even when using a block plane. A precaution I do take is to use an n95 mask when cutting on the table saw. That fine pvc dust is a lung killer. Great product overall.

Worked in the New England Seacoast with a GC for a while. All we used for exterior trim was Kleer or Azek PVC trimboards. Kind of necessary in that region.

I was under the impression that brad nails should not be used. Lowe’s guy said to use FastenMaster Cortex hidden fasteners I’m in Illinois by the way

Helpful video thanks! I am redoing my garage exterior trim and will use the PVC...or perhaps Hardiboard ? but likely PVC as easier to cut.

I’ve painted dark colors on pvc board with vinyl safe paint and that seemed to work out

Thnx for this review. I'm wanting to re trim my kitchen as my cat has destroyed all the molding around doors from scratching- I'm wanting to use PVC board

To install around a window would you just use adhesive or a brad nail gun or roofing gun or finish nailer?

gotta say i've had problems with the expansion and contraction with PVC outside and only have used it as trim on a garage. I'm in MN sooo it can get cold and HOT .... some places are perfect for pvc ... some parts of a building are perfect for natural materials

Getting ready to buy trim but how do you cover nails holes? And can you use hardie board against it?

[ediesteffan]

We are doing a bathroom renovation, using PVC trim for the moisture area. It is already finished in white, do I caulk ceiling, chair rail and baseboards? All the videos on trim show painting afterwards.. plus what do you recommend for nail filling?

[bobhunt]

Rip down to size and you got a nasty edge where you need to seal the cells. If you don't it will collect dirt and look terrible. Prepare to acetone by the gallon.

Can I paint PVC exterior window trim dark brown? Why, or why not? Thank you!

I would say it's as dent resistant as wood, so that's a non-issue :-] But holy crap, is this stuff expensive!!!

Boral Trim. It Doesn't expand and contract.
