Frequently Asked Questions About LumaTek Trim
What installation methods work best for LumaTek Trim?
LumaTek Trim can be installed using standard carpentry tools and techniques similar to wood trim, but with several key advantages. For optimal results, use stainless steel trim screws or hot-dipped galvanized nails with a minimum 1.5" length and blunt points.
Allow 1/8" expansion gap for every 18 feet of material length and bond joints with PVC cement designed specifically for trim applications. The material can be cut with standard carbide-tipped saw blades and shaped with conventional routers and forming techniques.
How does LumaTek Trim accelerate construction timelines?
LumaTek Trim significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional wood trim by eliminating several time-consuming steps in the construction process.
The lightweight PVC material is easier to handle and position, cuts cleanly without splintering, and can be fastened closer to edges without pre-drilling or splitting. Additionally, it arrives on the jobsite ready to install without acclimation periods, can be installed in virtually any weather conditions, and eliminates the need for priming, sealing or treating before painting.
Can LumaTek Trim be painted, and what colors work best?
Yes, LumaTek Trim accepts 100% acrylic latex paint beautifully, requiring minimal preparation beyond cleaning the surface. For optimal results, choose paints with a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of 55 or higher to prevent excessive heat absorption.
While traditionally limited to lighter colors, new vinyl-safe paint formulations now allow for darker color options with proper preparation. The material comes pre-finished in bright white and can be left unpainted if desired, offering design flexibility for various architectural styles.
