Exterior PVC Trim: Historical Window Sill

Lead carpenter Dan Booth has been renovating an old general store outbuilding that sits on the back of his property located in Nova Scotia, Canada. To remain true to the feel of the old entryway, Dan selected a historical PVC window sill. To keep the trim looking sharp and clean, it’s important to maintain a consistent gap between window frame and sill, so the eye is not drawn to it. The same is true with the outside corner on the sill, this must look seamless and remain closed even against the tough elements.

In the third episode of this PVC trim series, Dan walks us through finding angles, cutting and fitting, gluing and installing VERSATEX’s Historic Sill on an outside corner.
