We recommend PVC pipe glue with solvent for bonding the ends of PVC trim boards to themselves (Weld-On 705 by IPS, TrimTight by Trim Glue, Inc. What is the best glue for joining two pieces of PVC trim? What is the best glue for bonding PVC trim to wood? How about metal? For the paint to cure, the moisture must evaporate through the surface of the coating that has skimmed over from drying.ĥ. It can take up to 30 days for paint to fully cure on PVC trim, because PVC trim is impervious to moisture. Warm/dry weather, or warm/humid weather, will allow the paint to cure faster than cool weather. How long does it take the paint to cure on PVC trim? Consult the paint manufacturer for the LRV of your paint before applying it to cellular PVC trim.Ĥ. We have had cases where contractors believed that the paint they used was a light beige, only to find out it had an LRV in the 20s or 30s. Thus, an LRV of zero (0) is black, and an LRV of one hundred (100) is white. LRV is measured based on color and its ability to absorb heat. For example, using paint with an LRV below 55 units will void our product warranty. Only light-to-medium colored paints-with a light reflective value of 55 units or greater-should be applied to PVC trim. Due to its excellent adhesion properties, it is an ideal coating for Cellular PVC. Kem Aqua® BP Enamel is a water-reduceable polyurethane, acrylic topcoat that offers fast dry times and no critical re-coat times. Sherwin Williams also offers a field-applied coating under their “Green Seal®” product designation. Paint on PVC trim will last three to five times longer than paints on wood or wood composites due to the absence of moisture in the substrate. Paints like Duration by Sherwin Williams, Manor Hall paints by PPG and Moorelife by Benjamin Moore adhere well to PVC trim. Lacquers are not recommended with PVC trim because lacquers are a more brittle coating, and will not flex with any movement in the PVC trim. Just about any 100% acrylic latex, or 100% acrylic latex with a urethane additive, can be used to achieve superior coating durability and flexibility. What type of paint do you recommend for coating PVC trim? In the future, look for more carefully-screened articles from manufacturers.Ģ.
#AZEK PAINT PRO TRIM INSTALL#
If you are sensitive about articles that seem to favor a particular manufacturer, then DON’T read this one!! It’s written by the President of Versatex! But after years of experience, I’ve found that some manufacturers know more about their products than anyone else if a carpenter wants to learn the best way to install a product, sometimes the best source of information is the manufacturer. WARNING: POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST!! (Refer to painting guidelines in the Versatex contractor handbook for more information on painting PVC trim.) Excellent adhesion can be achieved by properly cleaning the board before applying a topcoat of paint to PVC trim. A primer is only needed if you want the paint manufacturer’s warranty.
