  • Versatex Cellular PVC Trim and Sheet -- Not Just for Exterior Applications Any More
  • ebuild (5/1/2009)

He saw the true advantage of PVC over wood, and started switching to PVC on windows, doors and corners, then graduated to soffits, fascias and more sophisticated uses where weather would just plain ruin wood. That led our contractor to another discovery to try Versatex inside the home, in places where poplar and maple were suffering from exposure to moisture of all sorts.

  • Fiber Cement's Aesthetics and Durability Continue to Gain Fans
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (2/13/2009)
