SKU: MX106-SM
The Fairbank: 5-3/4 inches Composite Exterior Window & Door Trim
Lightweight, high-density EPS core with a polymer-modified cement finish—engineered for zero-joint expansion and 100% moisture resistance.
6" SAMPLE - FREE SHIPPING
8' LENGTH: $55.14
Core Material: High-density expanded polystyrene (EPS) core protected by a proprietary polymer-modified cementitious coating (approx. 3/16” thick).
Thermal Stability: Engineered for zero-gap joint integrity; thermal expansion coefficient optimized to resist shrinking or cracking during extreme North American freeze-thaw cycles.
Bonding Technology: Bond ready surface optimized for high-strength architectural masonry adhesives; compatible with EIFS, brick, stucco, and stone substrates.
Weight & Structure: 90% lighter than traditional pre-cast concrete (approx. 1/10th the weight), eliminating the need for heavy-duty structural wall reinforcement or mechanical hoisting.
Finishing Options: Arrives in a uniform cement-gray finish that acts as a premium masonry primer; compatible with all high-quality exterior acrylic latex paints and textures.
Technical Customization: Precision factory-cut to any architectural profile; capable of achieving true arches, ellipticals, and bespoke geometric shapes that traditional materials cannot replicate.
Environmental Durability: 100% inorganic and inert; naturally resistant to moisture, wood-boring insects, rot, and UV degradation for a maintenance-free lifecycle.
DESIGNER'S SUGGESTED STYLE KIT
| Performance Attribute | Mouldex Exterior Mouldings | Pre-Cast Concrete / Stone | Natural Wood / PVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight & Handling | Ultra-Lightweight: Approx. 90% lighter than concrete. Safe for high-rise and residential retrofits without structural reinforcement. | Extremely Heavy: Requires cranes, heavy-duty mechanical ties, and reinforced building envelopes. | Medium to Light: Manageable, but lacks the architectural "heft" and masonry feel of stone. |
| Environmental Resilience | Inorganic Construction: Immune to moisture, wood-boring insects, and freeze-thaw cycles. No rot or splitting. | Porous: Can absorb moisture leading to spalling, cracking, and salt-efflorescence in cold climates. | High Risk: Wood rots and warps; PVC suffers from extreme thermal expansion/contraction. |
| Installation Efficiency | Labor-Friendly: 1-person installation using architectural masonry adhesive. Rapid project completion. | Cost Intensive: Requires multi-person crews, structural anchors, and specialized machinery. | Technical: Requires precise carpentry, flashing, nailing, and ongoing sealant maintenance. |
| Finishing & Priming | Cementitious Coating: Ready for any latex or textured paint. | Raw Masonry: Difficult to paint; often requires specialty primers and acid-etching for proper adhesion. | Ongoing Maintenance: Requires frequent repainting or staining; PVC often suffers from "chalking" over time. |
| Custom Shapes | Precision Contours: Easily manufactured into true arches, circles, and elliptical curves. | Static: Curved profiles are extremely expensive and require long-lead custom molds. | Limited: Bending wood is difficult; PVC curves often show visible stress marks or warping. |
