AZEK® Trimboards: Icing on the Cake

   Faced with the rising cost of wood, homeowners, architects and builders are looking for less-expensive ways to design or upgrade homes and other structures without sacrificing appearance, quality or performance. Enter AZEK® Trimboards.
  AZEK® is a cellular PVC trimboard available in popular trim profiles and sheet dimensions. Like icing on a cake, AZEK®’s stunning presentation as trim, fascia, soffit, corner board, ceilings, decorative millwork, custom molding and wainscoting is easy on the eye. From a practical standpoint, it looks, feels and sounds like premium lumber, but doesn’t have the drawbacks associated with typical wood trim products. For example, AZEK® trim resists rot, moisture, mildew, chemical reactions and insects – features not found in wood products.
  All of AZEK®’s products embody quality and performance. AZEK® trim boards are manufactured in a proprietary process, so they are consistent and uniform throughout with no voids. Trim products won’t split, cup, rot, warp or twist. Another attractive feature is that AZEK® can be cut, routed, milled, nailed, glued, screwed or easily bent or shaped into curved applications. AZEK®’s look also complements nearly every housing exterior, from traditional brick to cedar shake.
  Initially, Vycom (AZEK® Trimboard’s parent company) manufactured cellular PVC to market as sign and marine material due to the material’s outstanding durability. The company soon realized the potential value of cellular PVC to the building industry and a new product was born. AZEK® is now the nation’s leading brand of trim and is available in all standard trim dimensions such as trimboards, sheets, cornerboard, beadboard, millwork and adhesive.
  A perfect wood substitute in nearly every non stress-bearing application, AZEK® is available in a Traditional finish featuring a smooth, semi-matte white finish on both sides. Ideal for window and door surrounds, facia, soffits and other trim applications, it can be milled, moulded and thermoformed to any custom or millwork profile. AZEK® also offers a reversible product, AZEK® Frontier, featuring a rustic Frontier texture on one side and the Traditional smooth finish on the other.
  AZEK® also recently began offering the three most asked-for millwork profiles as ready to install products: AZEK® Brick Mould, AZEK® Crown Mould and AZEK® Drip Cap. The products first became available in January 2005 and are milled in the same fashion and with the same equipment as high-end millwork. AZEK® Millwork has excellent workability, doesn’t require paint for protection and can even be heat formed into arches and rounded shapes. Because AZEK® millwork is ready to install, it saves time, labor and expense.
