   I have used it for projects on my house. I have also used their siding. It is nonstructural but for window trim or corner board, etc it works great. It will dull you saw if you have a big job. I like it better than Azek. I am not one for plastic siding or trim.

   I'm looking to use it to cover my subfascia in my new home. So I understand correctly, is Azek plastic? (I didn't think it was)

   Is the Boral closed cell? In other words if you cut it, is it sort of open cell where it can get dirty and yellow after time?

   Yes, it's PVC (i.e. a type of plastic).

   Cut ends need to be painted. If you do that, it shouldn't have any problem.

   Wow. This is an old question, but since folks dug it up...

   >我正在考虑在新房子上使用Boral TrueXterior Trim代替Azek董事会。有人告诉我，该产品以更少的钱提供了同等的性能。

   It's great product. However, it's not cheaper than Azek (at least in NJ). It's about 15-20% more, last I purchased.

   缺点：

   - 脆弱；长长的行走时要小心
   - 灰尘绝对讨厌
   - It's very rough on blades
   - 必须涂漆

   I haven't done the price comparison yet. I'm looking for material to cover my 2x8 and 2x10 fascias on my new build. Does it need to be painted if I want white?

   >如果我想要白色，是否需要涂漆？

   是的。它不是工厂的白色，但是即使您完全想要它的颜色，它也需要保修的油漆。

   I comes primed, so you need to paint. It is a solid product. No grain like Azek.

   我尚未进行成本比较，但是孔是聚合物（塑料）和粉煤灰（如pozzolan）和玻璃纤维的混合物。它运行良好，即使在冷冻气候中，防潮也可以防水，因为玻璃纤维不会吸收水（与纤维水泥不同），并且防火。皇家也制作了多什份壁板。例如，像木材一样，您可以将材料刀具刀切成薄片。我认为它的成本超过了Azek，但不确定。

   Boral is less expensive than Azek by about 30%. Do you, Patrick or Johnathan have an opinion on using Aluminum in place of a PVC or Boral product?

   Jay,

   If you use Aluminum you might consider adding another backing piece to the rough fascia (say a 2"x4" at the top) first. Without a profile and hems it will oil-can and look pretty poor.

   很惊讶地听到这个价格difference. One thing to double check... PVC often is stocked in 18' lengths whereas Boral comes in 16' lengths. If Boral is 30% cheaper per linear foot, I'm curious where you're located!

   For what it's worth, I just checked both at my lumber yard in NJ and Boral was 18% higher than PVC (per linear foot) for a 5/4 x 4 board.

   我在一个非常大的项目中安装了大量这些东西。

   如果不抬起边缘，它很重，有点脆。载有一个以上的16英尺长度大约是一个工人的最大值和一些马戏团的行为。“切割人”所产生的尘埃不是PVC装饰灰尘是一项梦想的工作。Boral需要一个坚固的切割站来支撑破裂，PVC可以在切割站上不小心就可以在切割站上倾斜。
