ICC-ES certification for Restoration Millwork

CertainTeed Restoration Millwork PVC Exterior Trim now meets ICC Evaluation Services, Inc., (ICC-ES) code requirements as designated in report number ESR-2922. The report confirms Restoration Millwork is code compliant and meets strict criteria for exterior trim used in residential and light commercial construction. ICC-ES, a nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, is responsible for evaluating and ensuring building products meet code requirements, including compliance with the International Building Code and International Residential Code. The properties of Restoration Millwork trimboards and sheets evaluated by ICC-ES include weather and termite resistance, surface-burning characteristics and structural wind loads.

"This nationally respected designation sets us apart from most other PVC trim manufacturers and shows our commitment to architects, builders and contractors that Restoration Millwork meets stringent third-party code requirements, including quality control guidelines," says Rick Brinton, business manager for CertainTeed Restoration Millwork. "The comprehensive code requirements for both manufacturing processes and products are reviewed on an annual basis, ensuring we consistently meet the standards set by ICC-ES."

Available in smooth and TrueTexture woodgrain finishes, Restoration Millwork exterior trim looks and feels like wood, yet resists freezing during winter months and is impervious to wood-boring insect damage. It comes ready to install in a long-lasting Natural White color, which is also easy to paint. Restoration Millwork is available in a variety of dimensional lumber and sheet widths and thicknesses with consistent dimensions for an accurate finish. Additionally, it complements vinyl, wood, stucco, fiber cement and brick siding and is ideal for single- and multi-family housing, light commercial developments and remodeling projects.

Restoration Millwork cuts, shapes, routs and mills with ordinary woodworking tools, and fastens with nails or screws. It can be bent for geometric window surrounds and features a 25 year limited warranty.
