How Do You Install Exterior PVC Trim Around Windows?
Many homes have cedar or other types of wood window trim. Wood doesn’t hold up well in many areas because of climate extremes. PVC window trim may be a good option if you’re looking for replacement window trim. It’s weather- and rot-resistant, lightweight, good-looking and not too difficult to install. Pry off the old window trim with a crowbar. Pull out any nails with the hammer. If the window trim is screwed in place, use the cordless drill and screw bit to remove the trim. Save the trim if you want to use it for a template when cutting the new trim. Measure the window width and height with the tape measure. New window trim can be butt-fitted together or mitered in the corners. For miter corner cuts, use a 45-degree angle so the two pieces will fit tightly together. Set up a chop saw on a table about 6 to 8 feet long. Plug in the chop saw. Use a blade made specifically for cutting PVC trim. Place the PVC trim upside-down when you make 45-degree cuts. This will ensure the best fit bet
