APEX - Architectural Trim

Exterior urethane and vinyl board accent trim is a maintenance free option that will enhance any exterior siding project.  It is cost effective, weather proof, durable, and unlike wood, will never rot, warp or need painting.  It provides a subtle accent to your exterior vinyl siding project and will enhance the outward appearance of your home.

The home featured in the photo to the right made use of Apex architectural trim to accent the doors and windows.  This home was sided with CertainTeed Monogram vinyl siding in a Natural Clay color.  A pre-finished ThermaTru Fiberglass Classic Mahogany door was installed with complete front door architectural trim surround.  The surround was composed of vinyl trim boards and an Apex architectural head piece.  In addition Apex keystone window heads were installed above the two picture windows.  Also installed were new gutters and leaders.

Dentil Molding Trim

To homeowners, vinyl siding a home can be more than just a functional, maintenance-free replacement for their old and worn exterior siding. Vinyl siding offers homeowners the opportunity to create a look that is uniquely their own.

 The availability of siding materials, styles, and options are many. This pictured home, was sided in a dutch lap siding, in a Savannah Wicker color. The windows were framed with black louvered shutters and the home was framed with white supercorners. To add more architectural appeal, the homeowner chose an exterior trim dentil molding, installed just below the roof line.
