I am going to be installing Certain Teed trim on our house and on the front I am using all PVC 1 x instead of Miratec, I have seen how that stuff looks 5, 6, 7 years later. Now I have used pvc before but want to know, do you guys use the glue for it? Go without the glue? Or use plumbers glue?  I will shoot it on with either 15 gau or 16 gau. Thanks! |

I generally only glue joints since it can be a bit of a hassle to glue the whole length with PVC glue. Now when I do glue the length I use construction adhesive/polyurethane glue. I use Azek brand glue on the joints. Use the 15 gauge nailer on the moldings and screw the 1x.

Just to play it safe, besides getting advice from us, always check the manufacturer's recommended procedures, usually available on their website. Most of the time that can mean the difference between warranty coverage and them telling you, "Sorry, you're SOL", down the road and a trouble free install.

Ken is right. This stuff is too expensive to do it wrong. |

That was a good article, thanks! Well I did a test run yesterday, I don't like to use the wood brick mold that comes on most doors, it seems to flake paint 3 yrs later. I bought some PVC brick mold instead and replaced it on the doors that were not on the front of the house. I did the plumbing on our house so I had some plumbers glue sitting around I put it on the miters. I will see how they hold up tomorrow! |

I have plenty of Miratec projects out there that are 5-7 years old.
They still look like the day I installed it. Just have to prime your cuts. The stuff takes and holds paint like a champ.
PVC trim is over priced and over rated.

Ken is right. This stuff is too expensive to do it wrong. +1 WAY too expensive! I wonder if the price of azek plank will come down now that is carried at the local orange box of heck, aka 'The Borg'. A shame that you cant get 18' lengths there, but it is sweet that you can get 8' lengths. |
