| PVC Lumber |
|
|
Issue #297 - October
2006 You expect to find PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in the plumbing department. But you may be surprised to learn that PVC is becoming commonplace in the lumber department, as well. There, you’ll find a wide array of exterior moldings, from brickmold to door frames, made from PVC. You’ll also see PVC “lumber” in standard dimensional sizes that are commonly used as exterior trim. The promise of PVC products is impressive. They’ll outlast wood, and they’re maintenance-free. They resist |
| seasonal movement. And the
pre-primed surfaces won’t discolor from exposure to sunlight. That means you can use PVC to build outdoor projects that will look good for years to come. If you’ve worked with PVC pipe, you know it’s brittle and tough to cut cleanly. But PVC lumber is made with “cellular” PVC that has millions of tiny, uniform air bubbles. They make the material more pliable and give it excellent working properties. You’ll get excellent results using standard woodworking tools and techniques. |
