This learning unit will discuss the features and benefits of using Polyvinyl chloride — commonly known as PVC — and Polyurethane, for decorative millwork and trim. It will discuss how these materials compare to some older and less productive traditional products now in use. The course will help you to understand why you should consider synthetic millwork for your next project, but comparing PVC and Polyurethane to traditional millwork options. Also, this learning unit will cover standard practice installation recommendations as well as requirements and techniques. Take the course.
