History of PVC Trim
Tamlyn developed and manufactured PVC Trim Profiles to use with fiber cement siding and soffits. But through learned experiences and public demand began converting its profiles into more durable materials.
The reason: PVC will not work with dark colors. Architects, contractors and developers have begun using dark colors for most of their projects.
These changes leave the 100% vinyl trim susceptible to swelling and buckling when exposed to DIRECT sunlight.
Mill Galvanized and Aluminum Flashing
The use of bare Galvanized Steel and Aluminum Flashing in direct contact with most claddings will increase chances of a chemical reaction, causing wear and break down on both products.
The Solution
Xtreme Trim™ gives protection against the chemical reaction AND offers the strength of a rigid metal to prevent swelling and buckling.
Why Tamlyn?
TAMLYN is committed to creating the Best Practices application of fiber cement siding and Tamlyn accessories.
