Exterior PVC Trim: Windows and Doors

[@anthonycaldi7056]

Dude that is a tight looking window trim! Well done!

[@tamarawidrick5177]

Thanks for the great info! Totally love my PVC window and house trim boards.

[@josephmerritt1411]

Thanks for the video. I am curious about the final exterior cladding over the rainscreen (which looks like 1x3 wood) and the interface to the window trim you created. What was the plan? In my case, I am planning to use James Hardie's lap siding, and I would like to use cellular PVC trim around the window.

I love tools…good prep requires tools and the knowledge to use them….

[@jeffdeluca1153]

I would love to see how you cut your Siding around all that detail at the top of the wondow. I have an older home with similar and looks like a daunting task. Thank you

[@incognitotorpedo42]

A diablo carbide jigsaw blade should take care of the notches.

[@jeffdeluca1153]

Question.. how do you j-channel around all that gingerbread? I have a similar, old world trim on my windows and was going to cut off all the gingerbread to facilitate Siding install. But I'm all ears cause would like to maintain it if possible Thx Jeff

Hello, wonderful video. Can I do thre same thing using 3 1/2 PVC j channel casing? Thanks

[@whocares8502]

What do you use to fill the finish nail holes

[@bibbidi_bobbidi_bacons]

Looks great

[@leestebbins5051]

Any ideas on how the siding is scribed around the trim, especially the head casing?

[@WoodchuckNorris.8o]

Contour gauge

[@DIYROBOTS]

Thank you, perfect tutorial for beginner!

[@_SYDNA_]

Hmmm. I'm going to have research Kleer adhesives and stainless steel brads. Thanks

[@bobusa1960]

Where are the channels for the siding?

[@cpmiller1965]

This is good, but I myself prefer setting new windows out at exterior surface, and have extensions inside if possible. Why spend two setups for exterior and interior? It does happen, but new build keep everything simple and faster.

[@MrScott_e]

I’m siding my new build with Chelsea Building Products - Everlast Siding. Because it is a floating material, all trim and penetrations are fixed to the Zip R3 prior to installing the J-Channel the siding will terminate. All trim is AZEK PVC. Any tips would be appreciated.

[@josephmerritt1411]

How did your project workout? Did you add J-Channel around the window trim to hide the siding edges?

[@kellerhopkins3184]

Curious also

What do you use for finishing off your face screws?

[@tditekinstructor]

Cortex for Trim Hidden Fastening System

[@jordanwilkinson7368]

Thoughts on hurricane shutter anchors in pvc trim?

[@tditekinstructor]

You have to sink the anchors through the pvc trim and into the structural framing.

[@TimCBuilders]

What "structural applications"?

[@MrScott_e]

What glue did you use?

[@abewilcox4560]

Any pvc glue will work. Use the clear if you can tho

[@deankay4434]

On "This Old House" they used regular PVC glue from the plumbing department. Why not? Makes sense to me.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

What is the adhesive?

[@petemiller519]

At 5:09, it shows it is a Kleer product. Here is a link to their adhesive products. kleerlumber.com/product/adhesives/ Cheers.

[@indman101]

Looks good but I would put a slope on top so that birds wont land on the top piece and do there business on your windows.

[@late0404]

What are those clamps?

[@gldmembr6132]

I second that question, I have a set of “dogs teeth” for flat stock but I’ve never seen those spring caliper clamp types before

[@robertfrancis4876]

Dave Collins makes them work really well

[@nikond90]

well done!

[@mikejustice1196]

Not good for structural application? That’s strange because they’re used to build cabinet face frames which hold doors together as well as holding the entire cabinet carcasses together

[@late0404]

Not structural in that application either

[@紫苑瞹绫]

More beard more details.

[@therealSIRBOOM]

This PVC (especially the lower sill) is only seemingly made with smooth texture... ugly. It needs to be cedar/wood grain-looked to match like... every siding on earth.

[@joshuasmith1215]

I'm watching this like wtf is rain screen?

[@TheJerryWatson]

Yeah! That is new to me as well? I just replace a window in my house and I have not heard of rain screen myself.

[@JayzeVo17]

Code in the Pacific Northwest. A set of furring strips and insect screens separating the sheathing from the siding.
