How To Paint Pvc Trim Boards

A few weeks ago we shared Tips for Painting Forest Trim and this calendar week we'll look at low maintenance products that look and feel similar traditional wood, but are fabricated from cellular PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Constructed products are replacing traditional woods for both interior and exterior applications and one of the industry leaders in these products is from a visitor chosen AZEK®. These products are used primarily for exterior trim use, just as well come up in soffit materials, bead board, cove moldings, decking, etc.

Painting tips for man-fabricated products:

AZEK® products are impervious to moisture and practise not require pigment for protection, just will accept pigment and hold paint very well.
Some customers prefer to lightly hand sand the cut or moulded surfaces for a smoother finish or to remove very faint streaks of surface yellowing sometimes produced during moulding.
The standard is white and if yous have a color other than white in listen, or want a painted surface, use 100% acrylic latex paint, like Hirshfield'south Platinum Exterior, with a Low-cal Reflective Value of 55 or higher. LRV values can exist found on the back of the paint chips in Hirshfield's Colour IS fan deck.
AZEK® surfaces must be clean, dry, and void of any foreign materials such as dirt, grease, or other contaminants that might come from normal treatment, storage, and/or installation of the product prior to painting.
Paints tend to concluding longer on Azek® products than it does on forest because there are no wet issues.
Since AZEK®products take no moisture absorption, paints may take longer to fully cure than they practice on wood. Generally most paints will be dry to the impact fairly rapidly (60 minutes or less) just may have up to 30 days or more to fully cure depending on temperatures and humidity.

Low maintenance products still get dirty and dingy. Dish detergent or Oxyclean tin can be used for cleaning AZEK® trim.

Have a fantastic weekend!
