offers answers on several building questions. Q:I am in the process of remodeling my home and I am looking for a nice trim to complement my new vinyl siding. What products are durable enough to match the longevity of my siding? A: Take a look at the big pic- ture when it comes to purchasing products for your home. Many products may seem like a great value at first, but that value may significantly diminish after factoring in years of maintenance and upkeep. In the world of trim, there is a new product madeofa solid cellu- lar polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that is quickly becoming very popular with homeowners and builders. If you have ever owned a house with wood trim, you have experienced the labor-intensive job of maintaining it. Exposed wood can deteriorate and warp and often needs sanding before repainting. Solid PVC trim, however, removes any potential leaking and rotting problems that come with wood. It also cuts, shapes, routs and mills with ordinary wood- working tools, and your local millwork contractor can heat form it for the curves and shapes of your choice. For instance, CertainTeed’s Restoration Millwork” Exterior Trim is a new millwork product bead- that includes trimboards, board, full-size sheets, one-piece corners, brickmould and drip cap, and brings uniformity, durability and curb appeal to a remodeling project. Restoration Millwork also complements virtually all cladding materials, including vinyl, fiber cement, wood, stucco and brick.
