Meet the PVC Trim That is Solving Problems

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter.  

Darci Kunard talks about PVC trim and how you can use this dependable, multi-use product to expand your offerings and save on labor. 

Recurring Roofing Road Trips guest Darci Kunard with Franklin International/Titebond joins the podcast once more for a conversation on the labor-saving qualities of sealants. 

Titebond PVC Trim Adhesive and Sealant and the company’s PVC Trim Joint Adhesive are gaining in popularity due to their weatherability and performance, and for the time contractors save using the products. This product is so favored by contractors because it is so easy to use, they don’t need two products or wait for an adhesive to dry. 

“So, if you're putting up a long run of PVC trim, it is very easy to adhere it and then go back and fasten it. You maybe only need one person for that job instead of two or three,” says Darci. “And then if you're not walking up and down the ladder constantly and changing out products and you have one product, you can easily adhere it and seal it in one step.” 

Titebond PVC Trim Adhesive and Sealant is an all-in-one formulation that adheres trim to the sub-fascia to be used to seal crown molding. However, this product works for a variety of applications, not just applying to the roof, but the whole exterior of the house. “[PVC Trim] is for all types of applications. I don't think a lot of people are aware, but we're seeing PVC trim used around windows. We've seen it around expansion, contraction joints, soffits, the ceiling, the bead board, any type of fascia, column wraps, decking,” says Darci. 

Multi-use products like these make it easy for contractors to add more exterior work to their offerings. With sealants and adhesives that can provide quality performance across the entire exterior of the home, it is easy for a roofer to build their business out. “If a roofer's looking to expand and do some more exterior construction projects, we try to make it as easy as possible,” says Darci.
