Trimming out an Integrity

#1 Post by kooshball »

So I have taken the plunge and decided on the wood ultrex windows from Integrity for my full frame replacement needs. Most of the existing windows have 2" brick mould trimming them out and I would like to match the look as much as possible although a have one wall that is between my house and the neighbors and not seen by anyone.

First, I am under the impression that when properly installed and flashed this window does not need to be trimmed (good for the side that no one sees); is this correct?

Second, for the ones that I want to trim can i go with a PVC brick mould or do I need to use another material?

Also, are the PVC brick moulds usually paintable?

Thanks

Azek is an exterior composite trim that can be purchased as a surround(precut, glued and screwed, picture frame), or field cut and applied.
It is designed to accept paint, but you do not have to.

Is this a fiberglass composite? I have seen their PVC trim; is that what you are referring to?

Thanks
