WHERE CAN YOU BUY PVC TRIM? Pretty much all big box home improvement stores carry PVC trim these days. You'll often find it near the "Doors and Windows" section. HOW MUCH DOES PVC TRIM COST? PVC trim used to be outrageously expensive--but the cost has come down in recent years! a 1x10 board, 8' long, will run over $40. A 4'x8' sheet, 3/4" thick, can cost up to $160! But, linear pine wood trim lumber isn't much cheaper these days. WHERE SHOULD YOU USE PVC TRIM? PVC trim is suitable for any area that suffers from water or moisture exposure. PVC TRIM CANNOT ROT! For this reason, it is superior to wood trim in exterior areas like: --Windowsills --Brick Molds (door and window casings) --Fascia Boards But, it is also very good in some interior areas as well, such as: --Bathrooms (especially baseboards, and areas close to the tub or shower) --Mud Rooms --Laundry Rooms WHAT IS PVC TRIM LIKE TO WORK WITH? The answer is: Very much like wood trim! PVC cuts in similar fashion, using the same tools. It nails and fastens in the same way. BUT, PVC needs caulks and adhesives that are formulated for the product. I use "Alex Flex" for caulk, and "PL Premium Loctite" for adhesive. Also, you can use any acrylic latex paint on PVC trim--but manufacturers recommend not using dark paint because it can cause failures. OTHER DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PVC TRIM AND WOOD TRIM: PVC trim expands and contracts like wood. But, it does so because of HEAT, rather than MOISTURE. PVC trim also won't warp because of environmental factors. DRAWBACKS OF PVC TRIM: --It is easy to mar or damage PVC trim because the surface tends to be very soft. --PVC trim has a very porous edge, which looks like wood end grain and is hard to hide. --PVC trim sawdust gets everywhere! Overall, PVC trim is superior to wood trim in its protection against water intrusion in every way. Because it cannot rot, PVC trim is the absolute best choice in areas where water intrusion can be expected. Be sure to check back in with The Honest Carpenter for more videos!
