Coil Wrap vs. Cellular PVC Trim
Exterior trim is an essential component of a home's appearance and resale value. More importantly, it provides protection from moisture at corners and around window and door openings, where material transitions occur. Traditionally, exterior trim has been made of wood due to its low initial cost, ease of installation, and familiarity as a building material. However, several materials are available as a replacement for wood trim, including coil wrap and cellular PVC trim.

Custom ornamental simulated woodwork is a versatile, durable, moulded millwork that has no structural abilities. Throughout history, old world craftsmanship has created ornate carved wood architectural details to enhance both the inside and outside of our buildings. Today several companies have the ability to custom mould plastic, from a unique design and specification, into a precise architectural ornament for use on the interior or exterior of a building.

Several types and formulations of plastic simulated wood trim are available for exterior and interior applications. Plastic decorative trim can be high-density formed to simulate hand-carved, layered, profiled and shaped boards or ornamental pieces. Plastic materials are durable, long lasting, low-maintenance products that are waterproof and resistant to the growth of mold or mildew.

Fabricated from virgin raw and recycled materials, plastic railings are commonly found in applications where wood railings would typically be installed. They are usually used in conjunction with a balustrade system that consists of a newel, balusters and railings. Plastic railings are extruded materials that are field assembled with metal inserts and offer a low-maintenance option that doesn't stain or allow for the growth of mold or mildew.

Plastic fabrications are non-structural finish materials used in a variety of interior and exterior applications. Simulated stone fabrications, cultured marble, solid surfacing and quartz surfacing can be used as surface finishes on the walls and ceilings of interior spaces, around tubs and showers, and inside elevators. Plastic paneling, another type of plastic fabrication, offers a wall surface material that can be formed to simulate tile, bead board or any other type of pattern. Plastic railings are commonly found where wood railings would typically be installed. Similarly, plastic simulated wood trim and custom ornamental simulated woodwork can be used in applications where wood trim would normally be used. Plastic fabrications can be manufactured with virgin raw or recycled materials and offer a maintenance conscious material choice.
