Why Choose TrueExterior?
Unmatched Durability: Unlike wood or PVC, it is resistant to rotting, splitting, cracking, and termite damage.
Superior Stability: It features an incredibly low expansion and contraction rate, meaning it won’t buckle or warp even during extreme temperature swings.
Workability of Wood: It handles just like real lumber. You can cut, rout, drill, and nail it using standard woodworking tools—no special blades or fasteners required.
Moisture Resistant: Approved for ground contact and masonry applications. It doesn't absorb water, so your paint job lasts significantly longer.
Sustainable Choice: Made with more than 70% recycled content, making it one of the greenest trim options on the market.

Installation & Customization
TrueExterior Trim comes with a reversible surface: one side features a realistic wood grain texture, while the other is smooth for a modern, clean finish. It arrives pre-primed and ready for your choice of exterior grade paint. Because it doesn't move like PVC, you can even use dark paint colors without fear of heat-related warping.
Pro Tip: Use high-quality 100% acrylic latex paint for a finish that can last twice as long as paint on traditional wood.
