No, AZEK Trim cannot be used in structural applications. WARNING: AZEK Trim products cannot be used in any stress or structural applications. AZEK Trim products can only be used as the decorative part of your application; either wood or metal structural components need to be incorporated for structural applications. Check with your architect or builder if your application is structural.

AZEK Classic Trim products do not require paint for protection, but may be painted to achieve a custom color or to cover nail holes that have been filled. AZEK Classic Trim comes in semi-matte bright white color and saves time and labor during installation as it does not require paint. However, AZEK Trim with Paintpro® Technology must be painted and also must be painted within 180 days of outdoor UV exposure. AZEK Trim with PaintPro® Technology is engineered for more efficient paint application as it does not require sanding, does not require a primer and dries faster. If you choose to paint your trim, AZEK Trim with PaintPro® Technology is your best choice.

When painting AZEK Siding and Trim, choosing the right paint type and color will ensure a truly low maintenance, long-lasting painted finish. Using paints that do not meet AZEK’s guidelines may cause the product to overheat, leading to undesirable product defects such as warping, oil canning, or buckling. First, always make sure your paint is suitable for exterior application and is 100% acrylic latex. When selecting your desired color, you will need to determine the Light Reflective Value (LRV) of that color which should be provided by the paint manufacture. If your desired color has an LRV value above 55 and is available in an exterior 100% acrylic latex paint it meets AZEK painting requirements. If the desired color has an LRV below 55, it should only be used on AZEK products if it exists as a preset color from a paint designed for vinyl siding or is a specialty paint with solar reflective pigments. Paints formulated for vinyl and paints with heat-reflective pigments are designed to limit heat build and ensure the long-term performance of PaintPro® products.

Depending on degree of cleaning needed, power wash or hose loose dirt off of the trim board. If using a power washer, be sure to test the pressure setting and nozzle first to ensure that the surface of the trim will not be damaged. Other cleaning methods include using a soft cloth and a mixture of mild detergent. Some people have found the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to work on pencil or other black marks. Other methods include cleaning with TimberTech® Deck Cleaner™ or OxiClean with a medium nylon bristle brush or using a mild household spray cleaner like Simple Green, Krud Kutter Cleaner/Degreaser or denatured alcohol. When using cleaners other than a mixture of mild detergent and water, it is best to test on a small area or a scrap piece of AZEK Trim, to make sure it does not harm the surface or damage the product’s appearance. Always read the cleaning product manufacturer’s specific information before using any product on your AZEK Trim and follow their instructions. WARNING: Keep children and pets away from cleaning product and the Trim until completely dry. IMPORTANT: Do not use solvent-based cleaners as they can harm the finish of AZEK Trim. Consult with your paint manufacturer for instructions on cleaning AZEK Trim that has already been painted.

You will want to use the same fasteners you would use for installing wood trim and siding. They should be stainless steel or hot dipped galvanized and long enough to penetrate the substrate a minimum of 1-1/2”. For best results, use fasteners designed for wood trim and wood siding. These fasteners have a thinner shank, blunt point, and full round head. Standard nail guns work well with AZEK Trim. If using pneumatic tools, use a fastener with a full round head and set the pressure so the fastener goes just beneath the surface of the AZEK board. IMPORTANT: Staples, brads, and wire nails should never be used. For a finished look the Cortex fastening system can be used to reduce the need to field apply paint when the trim is going to be left white. Please see the AZEK Trim & Moulding Install Guide for details.

You can use an acrylic, urethane, or polyurethane caulk with AZEK Trim. For Best results and color match, we recommend using our AZEK Fill and Flex caulk sealant.
