What is the Difference Between Wood, Vinyl, and Composite Exterior Trim?
Exterior trim was predominantly wood in the 20th century with vinyl trim being introduced in the late 1950s. Each had its shortcomings. Wood had superior strength and was easy to machine and cut, but wood trim would eventually rot from moisture or termites, and need to be periodically repainted. Vinyl exterior trim was flexible and did not need to be painted. Basically a plastic product, vinyl needs special tools and techniques to work the material on the job site and was difficult to paint if it became discolored. Composite exterior trim was created to provide the best best features of both materials. Composite decking can be worked like wood, and is similar in weight, and feel. Composite trim is ready to install and does not need special treatments before or after installation. Composite trim also has superior color fastness to vinyl and some paints. However, should you choose to paint our composite products they can be easily painted just like wood.Cost of Composite vs. Wood Trim
Composite trim is more expensive than wood. Costs of materials can run 20% higher than wood costs. However like composite decking, the long term costs of maintaining the composite products is much lower than the costs to treat, seal, paint, and replace wood trim.
