Installation Instructions

Storage and Handling
• Royal trim and moulding should be stored off the ground,
fully supported on a flat surface.
• Never place Royal trim and mouldings directly on blacktop
or other surfaces that can develop excessive heat.
• Store in a well ventilated area.
• Keep under shipping shroud, white side up during
warehousing.
• For products with protective film, remove film directly after
installation.
• Protective film should not be left exposed more than 90
days.
Safety
• Wear safety glasses for all cutting and nailing operations.
• Follow standard safety practices for using power tools,
ladders, etc.
• Cut and mill in a well-ventilated area.
Structural Integrity
• Royal trim and mouldings are not to be used as structural
products in load bearing applications. PVC boards
must always be supported by wood or other structural
materials.
Managing the expansion and contraction
• PVC products expand and contract through temperature
changes. This movement must be taken in consideration
when working with the products.
• The amount of movement of a board is in relation to
it’s length. Therefore, the longer the board, the more
movement is likely.
• Window trim is typically assembled prior to installation
on the wall and are small enough not to need additional
expansion joints, etc.
• See drawing on page 7 for guidance on longer pieces.
