Beautiful, well-styled house trim can bring your home to life and increase its resale value. One product, Azek Trim provides inspiration to architectural designers so they can design homes that appeal to homeowners and suit the architectural style of the particular home. From adding classic accents to historic homes or giving a new home an impressive finish, Azek trim has so many features to offer the home craftsman.
There are a lot of reasons why builders prefer Azek trim. Perhaps the foremost preference is due to its material consistency. It mills consistently and provides the look of real wood, not a plastic appearance. It can be laminated, routed, shaped, and bent into any form needed for the exterior house application. Builders prefer this type of material for the cost savings in application.
Historic Colonial Buildings
What really makes Azek Trimboard very popular is how it works so well on historic buildings. Since it can be milled so well, it can be crafted into a finished product that replicates trim on New England historic buildings. The various historic period architectures all have their stylistic nuance and unique shapes, and Azek can be milled to mimic those styles very well. Pediments, cupolas, corbels and brackets, spires or elaborate facades can all be designed with the Azek product. With Azek, you’re getting the appearance of real, clear wood boards and a product with superior durability. Another important advantage is how it can be fastened close to the edge without splitting, unlike wood. Again, maintenance and repair costs are going to be lessened.
Unlike real wood trim products, Azek Trim won’t split, twist, rot, warp, or deteriorate under extreme weather conditions. That keeps maintenance costs under control, which is a critical issue for historic building renovators and administrators. Cellular PVC has many advantages built in at the production level. Boards come in 18 foot lengths so fewer seams appear in the finished applications. It’s flexible and strong, and it takes nails, screws, staples, and glue well. You can work with Azek using traditional woodworking tools and the product can be painted, although it rarely needs to be painted.
Beautiful Versatile House Finish Product
Builders use Azek Trim for all their finishing work including: moulding, casing, fascia, soffit, wainscoting, cornerboard, ceilings, doorjambs, rakes, frieze, and more. It is available in standard trim, beadboard, and sheet sizes.
AZEK comes in a traditional finish, which has a smooth, semi-matte white finish on both sides. Another style is AZEK Frontier. It has a rustic texture on one side and a smooth finish on the other side. This reversible product features all of the same product benefits as the traditional Azek style. You can find the Azek line of products at many lumberyards throughout New England, in VT, MA, NH, CT, RI, and NY.
Traditional House Trim
Fascia, soffits and trim around doors and windows normally have wood products used in them. Even when the house or building has wood, stucco, vinyl, cedar, brick, or stone siding, the usual practice is to utilize real wood for trim. The obvious problem with wood trim is the need for regular maintenance and repainting. Maintaining wood trim is a labor-intensive and costly part of any exterior finish work. When real wood products are not well maintained, their condition deteriorates and they may need extensive sanding before repainting or staining. Just the fact that it has to be refinished every few years should give you second thoughts about using real wood. There is a psychological-driven preference for real wood trim, despite the fact that wood will increase the long-term costs. The reality is that cellular PVC products are going to maintain their condition and appearance longer, resulting in substantial savings in time and money.
Azek Boards
Look at these features of AZEK cornerboards: They have the look, feel, and sound of clear lumber with a seam that will never open. They provide a combination of consistency and uniformity throughout with no voids, and durability with a miter-locked seam that will never open. Resistance to moisture and insects makes it great for ground contact applications. Azek corner boards are manufactured in natural semi-matte white, the most popular trim color and finish, however they can be painted a custom color. Their cornerboards complement all housing exteriors from primed cedar siding to brick exteriors.

You’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between real wood ceiling beams and high-quality polyurethane look-alikes. If you want the look of real wood beams without the hard labor of installing and finishing them, faux wood beams are the ticket. You can get them in lots of styles and prefinished colors to suit your taste, from rough and rustic to smooth and shapely.
Faux beams are a fraction of the weight of wood, so one person can easily lift the largest beam, and two people can safely maneuver them during installation. You cut them with ordinary woodworking saws, and they attach to the ceiling with adhesive and a few screws.
Here’s how easy it is to install a ceiling beam.
What You Need
- Beams and matching wood filler, available online for shipment to your door (Google “faux wood beams”)
- Short pieces of 2×4 to use as mounting blocks
- 3-inch screws or anchors for attaching 2×4 blocks to ceiling
- 2-inch screws for attaching beam to blocks
- Construction adhesive such as Liquid Nails Poly or PL Premium Poly
Overview
The ceiling beam has a U cross section, open along the top where it rests against the ceiling. To install the beam, you first cut short wood blocks that fit inside the U and screw these to the ceiling. Then you apply adhesive to the top edges of the beam, slip it over the blocks and screw the beam to them.
Step By Step
After you’ve planned where the wood beams will go, just follow these simple steps to install each beam:
- Measure the inside width of the ceiling beam and cut 2×4 blocks to fit. You need about one block for each 4 feet of beam.
- Mark where the beam will go on the ceiling using a pair of chalk lines or strips of painter’s tape.
- Attach the 2×4 blocks with screws or anchors every 3-6 feet along the lines you’ve marked. Then you can dust off the chalk line or remove the painter’s tape.
- Mark the beam for cutting. If the wall and ceiling don’t form a right angle, transfer the angle using a sliding T bevel. If the beam extends from wall to wall, mark it about 1/8 inch longer for a snug fit.
- Cut the faux wood beam to length. Use a power miter saw, manual miter box or any sharp, fine-tooth woodcutting saw for a smooth cut. Dry-fit the cut beam to make sure the length is right.
- Apply construction adhesive along the open top edges of the beam.
- With a helper, slip the beam over the blocks, hold it snugly against the ceiling, and screw it to each block on each side. Countersink the screws slightly.
- Fill the screw holes with matching wood filler.
- Climb down the ladder, sit back in a comfortable chair and admire the new dimension you’ve just added to your room.
Tips for Great Results
- If possible, position each 2×4 block on a ceiling joist. Then you can use plain screws to attach them securely and not have to bother with plastic or metal anchors.
- Cut the ceiling beam slightly long so the ends fit snugly into place against the walls.
- Apply the bead of adhesive toward the inside of the wood beam so it doesn’t squeeze outside the beam. If some adhesive does squeeze out, carefully wipe it away. Or, to avoid smearing, let the adhesive harden first and then cut it away with a razor or utility knife.
More Dimensions
You can do much more than attach faux wood beams to the surface of the ceiling. You can enclose the open side and ends of the beam for a completely solid look from all angles. You can suspend beams from point to point to simulate ties or trusses. You can use them vertically to simulate support posts. And you can use faux wood beams and accessories outdoors as well, for everything from decorative headers and corbels to freestanding pergolas.

You can find more detailed installation instructions with step-by-step photos and video tutorials online. You’ll also find lots of creative ideas along with the materials and accessories you need.
