4. What lengths do your trim & mouldings come in?
Exterior trim & mouldings are available in 7' to 20' lengths. Interior mouldings are typically 7' to
12' lengths.
5. Can you install the mouldings near a fireplace, heaters or dryer vents?
Yes, but only in locations where the temperature build-up from the heat in the area DOES NOT
exceed 140°F to 150°F.
The exhaust temperature of a dryer typically cycles 120 to 160°F. If the dryer is not operating
properly it could be higher. Post 1980 dyers should have safety fuse that typically blows at 185°F.
There are some dryer manufacturers that specify not to use a plastic vent. Customer should refer
to OEM dryer specifications to determine maximum exhaust temperature (some are as high as
200°F), and follow all code requirements.
The following codes should be reviewed to ensure dryer vent systems are in compliance:
• International Mechanical Code: 2009 version, sections 504 and 913.
• National Fuel Gas Code.
• UL 2158 Electric Clothes Dryer Standard references venting requirements.
• ANSI Z21.5.1 - Gas Clothes Dryers.
Other sections of these codes may also apply to multi-dryer vent systems.
See the Installation Instructions for the specific dryer model being used or considered for spacing
requirements.
6. Can you install the mouldings around the shower or bathtub?
Yes. Our mouldings are water proof and do not promote the growth of mold or mildew.
7. Can you attach a screen door to a PVC door frame?
Yes, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
8. Does cellular PVC trim require special code approval?
Typically no special codes are required – always check with building codes.
9. Can PVC be used as a structural component such as framing?
PVC cannot be used as a structural product in load bearing applications. PVC boards must always
be supported by wood or other structural materials.
10. How do I clean and remove scratches?
If the scratches are not too deep, you can use Windex and Mr. Clean MAGIC ERASER, (or
Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge). Apply the cleaner. Use the eraser or sponge, and rub in
circular and up and down motions, until scratches are buffed out. This takes some time, depending
on the severity of the scratches. You can also use Turtle Wax® Rubbing Compound to remove
surface scratches. Clean the product after buffing the out the scratches.
There are many cleaners on the market that will work for cleaning PVC:
• Windex® 409 Glass and Surface Cleaner® Spic & Span Cinch® • Fantastik All-Purpose®
• Fantastik Oxy Power Multi-Purpose Cleaner® • Clorox Clean-Up® • Glass Plus® • DeckMAX®
