10 Reasons You'll Love Restoration Millwork
CertainTeed’s Restoration Millwork exterior trim is now in stock at Erie Materials.
Made from solid PVC, it is designed for wherever you use wood for exterior trim needs. Plus, it complements virtually all siding materials: vinyl, wood, stucco, fiber cement and brick.
One side of the trim board boasts the most authentic-looking cedar woodgrain on the market, molded from real rough-sawn cedar boards. The other side of the board is smooth for applications when such a finish is more appropriate.
Here are the top 10 reasons to choose Restoration Millwork exterior trim:
1. Uniform Material
Manufactured of cellular PVC, Restoration Millwork is similar to the weight and density of #2 pine. There’s no brittle outer layer like you’ll find in some other composite trim products. Restoration Millwork has the same material and density throughout—from surface to inner core. Restoration Millwork’s consistent quality, uniformity, long-lasting durability and unparalleled beauty offer building professionals a solid finish trim that looks and feels like wood.
2. Better Workability
Because Restoration Millwork has a tighter cell structure, unlike trimboards made with the Celuka process, tearouts from chipping or splintering from a cutter, blade or drill bit exit are eliminated. And the No-Flake™ Knifedge means sanding is kept to a minimum, if it’s needed at all. The millwork’s consistent quality and dimensional stability allows for easy fastening with nails or screws. Restoration Millwork’s high-performance features make it the right choice for any non-weight bearing exterior trim application.
3. UV Resistant
The exclusive TiO2 composite formula makes Restoration Millwork highly resistant to UV fading,cracking and yellowing. Get the look of straight Natural White painted wood with the superb workability and durability of an engineered composite.
4. 100% Material Yield
You’ll appreciate the cost-effectiveness of Restoration Millwork over wood. The trimboards come in 18-foot lengths to reduce the number of joints on applications such as fascia, rakes and bandboards. Each and every trimboard is perfectly straight and won’t rot, cup, split, check, bow, twist, warp or delaminate. Restoration Millwork is a great choice for applications on fascia, rake, frieze/bandboard, soffit, column enclosures, corners, and window and door casings.
5. Ready To Install
There’s no need to spend summers or weekends dealing with the scraping, sanding and painting that wood trim always needs. All Restoration Millwork is Natural White throughout and ready for installation. Although the millwork never needs painting, it is easy to custom finish. Whether smooth or woodgrain, all the millwork complements vinyl, wood, stucco, fiber cement and brick siding. Since you can use Restoration Millwork wherever you would use wood, it’s ideal for single- and multi-family housing, light commercial developments and remodeling projects.
6. Resists Moisture
The damaging effects of freezing and thawing during the winter months can be brutal on wood. Restoration Millwork is manufactured to resist these forces of nature. Cut edges will not absorb moisture either. And it can be used at grade or in direct contact with concrete. Restoration Millwork is also impervious to wood-boring insect damage.
7. Works Like Wood
Like the finest woods you’ve used, Restoration Millwork cuts, mills, shapes and routs like wood. Many say even better. Woodworkers, carpenters and fine craftsmen alike appreciate the fact that no special woodworking tools are needed to work with Restoration Millwork. And milled edges are smooth. For more creative design opportunities, you can easily heat-form the millwork for radius applications such as arched windows and doorways. And the sheets cut easily and can be heat-shaped to fabricate raised panels or decorative filigree; they’re the perfect solution for dormers, board-on-board or board-and-batten side-wall applications.
8. Class 1(A) Fire Rating
Restoration Millwork has a best-in-the-industry fire rating. This feature can be advantageous for homes and buildings located in more heavily wooded and forested areas or where building codes demand.
