Cellular PVC Trim Installation Guidelines
sives may be used to bond Veranda HP TRIM to other sub-
strates. Consult adhesive labeling to determine suitability.
Glue joints should be secured with fasteners on each side
of the joint.
For best results, surfaces to be glued should be smooth,
clean and in complete contact with each other.
TOUCH UP
Recommend non-solvent base llers.
Very good with All Purpose Painter’s Putty and High Perfor-
mance Wood Filler.
Good with Fill-N-Finish Light Wood Filler and Shrink Free
Spackling.
Clean with a damp cloth with soap and water.
DRILLING AND ROUTING
Use standard wood working drills and routers.
Care should be taken to avoid frictional heat build-up.
Periodic removal of shaving from the drill hole may be nec-
essary.
Carbide tipped router bits are recommended.
MOISTURE
Veranda HP TRIM does not absorb moisture, it can be in-
stalled at or below grade.
It is perfect for use in moisture prone applications such
as ground contact, masonry contact, hot tub surrounds,
freeze boards, rooines and garage door jambs, etc.
EXPANSION & CONTRACTION
Allow 1/8” space per 18 foot for expansion and contraction,
Veranda HP TRIM expands and contracts with changes in
temperature. Joints between pieces should be glued to
eliminate joint separation — see “gluing” section.
Properly fastening Veranda HP TRIM along its entire length
will minimize expansion and contraction.
When gaps are glued on a long run of the board, allow suit-
able expansion and contraction space at ends of the run.
Scarf joints are recommended to minimize seams and al-
low expansion & contraction.
SPANNING
Never span Veranda HP TRIM more than 24”.
Must not be used in load bearing applications, but maybe
used in spanned applications such as sots and ceilings,
with suitable thickness.
Proper fastening will help reduce the possibility of exces-
sive movement from expansion and contraction.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store on a at and level surface.
Should be handled in a fashion as pine, because it has a
density comparable to pine with more exibility.
Keep product free of dirt and debris at job site. If product
gets dirty, clean after installation.
Always store Veranda HP TRIM with manufacturer cover.
CUTTING
Use standard wood working equipment for cutting.
Carbide tipped blades are recommended.
Avoid using ne tooth metal cutting blades.
Rough edge from cutting may be caused by excessive fric-
tion, poor board support, or improper tooling.
FASTENING
Use standard nail guns or wood working tools.
Stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized nails are recom-
mended.
Do not use brads, staples, wire nails, ring-shank nails or
ne-threaded wood screws.
Place nails and screws on center of board and keep ap-
proximately ¾” from each edge.
Fasteners should penetrate into at, solid wood substrate
or framing member a minimum of 1-1/4”.
Always use 2 fasteners per every framing member for trim
board applications. If 12” or wider, Veranda HP™ TRIM will
require additional fasteners.
Veranda HP TRIM should be fastened into a at, solid sub-
strate. It can damage the board if fastened Veranda HP
TRIM into hollow or uneven areas. Shutter application is
not recommended.
If nailing product at 32°F or below, pre-drilling is required.
Pre-drilling and/or counter-sink are typically not required
unless a larger fastener is used.
PAINTING
Clean surface prior to painting. The surface must be clean,
dry, and void of any foreign article and material such as
dirt, oil, grease or other contaminates.
Veranda HP TRIM does not require painting for protection
like wood. Veranda HP TRIM accepts paints and stains well.
Both oil base and latex paints are desirable. Follow paint
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Avoid painting dark colors in area of direct sunlight.
Acrylic or urethane based latex exterior or interior paints
are recommended. General brands such as Sherwin Wil-
liams, Behr, Glide, etc. are all suitable.
Always use paint with Light Reective Value (LRV) of 55 or
higher.
If paint darker color (LRV of 54 or lower), Vinyl safe paint
or paints specically designed for such application must
be used.
GLUING
Standard PVC cements or cellular cements provide a
strong Veranda HP TRIM to Veranda HP TRIM bond.
For the best result, glue all joints between trim pieces such
as long fascia runs, window surrounds, etc., to prevent
joint separation.
Various adhesives, such as epoxy or polyurethane adhe-
