Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is TruExterior made out of?
A: TruExterior trim and siding is the first and only Poly-ash trim product, consisting of a blend of proprietary polymers and coal combustion products (ash).
Q: How do I install TruExterior?
A: TruExterior is incredibly simple to install, and very carpenter friendly. It uses standard woodworking tools and handles very similarly to regular wood. Installation is three simple steps - just cut, fasten, and paint. There are no special installation techniques or restrictions in regards to gapping, butt joints, or priming edges or field cuts.
Q: What fasteners do they recommend using?
A: It is recommended to use an 8d x 2 1/2" Stainless Steel Ring Shank Nail. Fasteners should be installed at 16" - 24" O.C. or less. Two fasteners should be used at each framing member (simply fastening through the tongue alone is not sufficient).
Q: What colors and type of paint should I use?
A: You can paint TruExterior any color of paint, including black and dark grays. As for the type of paint, a high-grade exterior paint is recommended. Because TruExterior is highly resistant to moisture cycling, the paint will adhere and perform well over the longevity of the siding.
Q: Can I take TruExterior straight to grade or concrete?
A: Yes! One of the best features of TruExterior is its ability to go straight to grade or but tight to concrete or masonry.
