Technical Specifications

CUSTOM ORDER MOULDING & TRIM
Gluing
• To reduce or eliminate open joints,
pipe glue or PVC pipe cement is
recommended
• Temperature variations will cause
PVC moulding to expand and
contract
• It is highly recommended to splice
(scarf) and/or miter all joints
Painting
• Royal Moulding and Trim requires no
painting for protection.
• 100% acrylic latex paints can be
used to achieve custom finishes
• For darker custom colors (colors that
fall within the lightness (L) value of 56
to 0, with 100 being white and 0 being
black), the use of heat-reflective paint
is required.
Cleaning
• Royal Moulding and Trim can be cleaned using any of
the recommended household cleaners
listed below; however, glass cleaner
has been shown to be best at keeping
the finish intact
• Recommended cleaners: Windex, 409
Glass and Surface Cleaner, Spic &
Span Cinch, Fantastik All Purpose, etc.
• Apply the cleaning solution and
immediately wipe dry for best results
• Avoid harsh cleaners with glycol ethers,
ethanol type solvents and/or isopropyl
alcohol as they can soften the PVC
finish if left on for several minutes
Additional Tips
• Typically a paintable exterior high quality acrylic latex
caulk is recommended
• When adhering Royal Trim and Moulding to wood a
construction type adhesive may be used
• Royal Trimboard should always be stored in a flat level
position
Installation Tips
Sawing/Cutting
• Royal Trim and Moulding can be cut
using the same techniques and tools
as are used for wood
• Use standard woodworking
equipment for most applications
• If using a power miter saw, a carbide-toothed blade with
80 teeth or more is recommended
Drilling
• Drill in the same fashion as most hardwoods
• Drill holes may require the removal of shavings
periodically
• High-speed steel bits are satisfactory for this process
• Unless product is installed in lower temperatures (<
40°F) pre-drilling is typically not required
Nailing
• Use 6d and 8d galvanized nails
• Place nails 12-in on center, approximately 3/4-
in from each edge
• Pre-drilling is required at temperatures of 40˚
F or below
• Royal Moulding and Trim can also be installed
using a pneumatic nailer, with stainless steel
or painted head screws or with construction
grade adhesives
Fastening:
• Use fasteners designed for wood trim and wood
siding (thinner shank, blunt head, full round head) with
trimboard
• Use only fasteners intended for exterior use such as
stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized.
• DO NOT USE staples, small brads and wire nails
• Fasteners should be long enough to penetrate the solid
wood substrate a minimum of 1-1/2 in.
• Use two fasteners per every framing member for
trimboard applications
• Trimboards 12 in. or wider as well as sheets will require
additional fasteners
• Fasteners must be installed no more than 2 in. from the
end of each board
• Trimboards should be fastened into a flat, solid substrate
• Fastening trim boards into hollow or uneven areas must
be avoided
