Does cellular PVC trim and/or cellular PVC require painting?
No. Cellular PVC trim does not require painting but, like
any cellular PVC product, it will weather over time and
painting will enhance these beautiful products to maintain
color consistency for many years. Our cellular trim products
are ready for painting and require very little preparation.
Painting with a good quality, vinyl safe, 100% acrylic latex
paint will enhance these beautiful products to maintain
color consistency for many years. There are several paint
manufacturers that will warranty their coating products on
cellular PVC trim for 20 years or more. Our warranty does not
cover painted finishes or coating applied to the product by the
original purchaser or any third party.
If I do paint, what type of paint should I use?
For white or light colors, we recommend a high quality
100% acrylic latex paint developed for trim. There are paint
manufacturers that sell coatings specifically designed for PVC
trim and mouldings. These pants are typically referred to as
“vinyl safe” paints, or heat reflective coatings for vinyl. If you
are going to paint the product a darker color, consult the paint
manufacturer for the LRV (light reflective value). Painting our
cellular PVC product with paints darker than 56 to 0 (zero
being black) on the LRV scale voids warranty.
