Trimming Products Fulton NY

Composite trims, which may be either wood/plastic, cellular PVC, polyurethane, or vinyl, come in several different material formulations, weights, dimensions, and textures, but they all claim better performance than wood exterior trim, manufacturers say. Here are some of the newest composite trim products.

Measuring 16 inches wide, MiraTec Treated Exterior Composite Trim is now available in a 5/4-inch thickness. The trimboards are made of wood bonded with resins and treated with zinc borate wood preservative, ensuring rot and moisture resistance. MiraTec trimboards are factory primed on all four sides and feature a cedar-like texture on one face and a smooth finish on the other. 800.255.0785. www.miratectrim.com.

Manufactured from cellular PVC, Trimplank trimboards from Royal Mouldings can be used for both exterior and interior trim applications. Trimplank will not rot, warp, twist, dent, or splinter and is resistant to termites. Available in 18-foot lengths and factory primed, the trim-boards come in smooth, wood-grain, or stucco textures. 800.368.3117.www.royalmouldings.com.

MoistureShield composite trims from AERT are manufactured from a blend of 50 percent recycled polyethylene plastics and 50 percent recycled wood fiber.

MoistureShield comes in trimboards, backband trims, brick molds, and universal transition boards.
