STORAGE &
HANDLING
• Store AZEK Trim and Moulding products on a at and level surface.
• Since AZEK Trim and Moulding products are more exible than wood, they may conform
to uneven surfaces. Ensure that storage areas, as well as all framing and substructures,
are at and level to minimize uneven surfaces.
• AZEK Trim and Moulding products have a density comparable to pine and should be
handled in a fashion as pine would be handled to avoid damage.
• Units of AZEK Trim and Moulding products are shipped from the manufacturer in a
protective covering. If covering has been removed, take care to keep product free of
dirt and debris at jobsite. If product gets dirty, clean after installation.
• Care should be taken in handling the individually wrapped column
wraps to prevent tearing of tape or cracking at miter lock corner joints.
CUTTING
• AZEK Trim and Moulding products can be cut using the same tools used
to cut lumber.
• Carbide tipped blades designed to cut wood work well. Avoid using ne
tooth metal cutting blades.
• Rough edges from cutting may be caused by excessive friction, poor
board support, or worn or improper tooling.
DRILLING
• AZEK Trim and Moulding products can be drilled using the same tools
used to drill lumber.
• Drilling AZEK Trim and Moulding products is similar to drilling a hardwood.
Care should be taken to avoid frictional heat build-up.
• Periodic removal of AZEK shavings from the drill hole may be necessary.
• AZEK Trim and Moulding products can be routed using standard router
bits and the same tools used to rout lumber.
• Carbide tipped router bits are recommended.
• Routing AZEK Trim and Moulding products provides a crisp, clean edge.
