Trim Materials

Here are the materials we often use:

• Wood: Wood is the most popular substance for exterior trim. Wood is available in either solid boards or finger-jointed pieces. Finger-jointed wood trim is simply shorter wood pieces that lock together. It’s easy to install wood trim and takes paint well.
• Plastic: There are two main types of plastic trim, polyurethane and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Polyurethane is slightly pricier, but more dense and prepared to paint. PVC needs to be sanded before it can be painted.
• Fiber-cement: Fiber-cement combines cement, sand and wood-fiber support. It’s tough, fire resistant and resistant to water and bugs. Fiber-cement trim is typically moisture resistant, which means paint will look good for years to come.
• Laminated veneer lumber: Wood veneer layers come in a parallel granule and two veneer cross bands are covered by a medium density overlay to make this substance.
• Hardboard: This trim is made from hardwood chips that are warmed with steam and water and then pressed into board stock. During pressing, lignin, that is part of wood, will begin to flow again and serve as adhesive to keep the board from separating. This makes the hardboard more immune to deterioration than wood.
