Product Summary
Cellular PVC is a durable building material that works like wood but lasts much longer and requires far less maintenance, making it a more economical alternative. Cellular PVC products outperform pine in impact strength, water absorption, dimensional stability, screw-holding power, resistance to flame and maintenance requirements.
Construction and Materials
The Vi-Lux moulding and millwork products are designed for durability and ease of use, offering a versatile solution for interior finishing projects. While specific construction details vary by product type within the Vi-Lux range, a common characteristic is the use of advanced composite materials.
These materials are engineered to provide the aesthetic appeal of traditional wood mouldings without the associated drawbacks such as susceptibility to moisture, rot, or insect damage. The core construction often involves a closed-cell foam or a similar dense, moisture-resistant core. This core is then typically encased or coated with a durable, protective layer. This outer layer is designed to be impact-resistant and provide a smooth surface ready for painting or finishing.
- Construction Features:
- Moisture-resistant core construction for enhanced longevity and stability.
- Durable outer layer provides protection against dents and scratches.
- Lightweight composition facilitates easier handling and installation compared to solid wood.
- Consistent density throughout the product ensures uniform performance and appearance.
The materials utilized in Vi-Lux products are selected for their performance in various interior environments. They are non-porous, which prevents the absorption of water and humidity, making them an ideal choice for areas prone to moisture fluctuations, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
- Material Composition:
- Primarily utilizes high-density composite materials.
- Closed-cell foam structures are common for core integrity and moisture resistance.
- The exterior surfaces are formulated for excellent adhesion with primers and paints.
- Materials are non-toxic and contribute to improved indoor air quality.
The manufacturing process focuses on creating precise profiles that mimic classic and contemporary millwork designs. This precision ensures a clean, professional finish when installed. The inherent properties of the materials also mean that the mouldings will not warp, crack, or splinter over time, maintaining their shape and appearance through years of use.
Features and Benefits
Vi-Lux offers a premium selection of non-wood moulding and trim solutions designed to elevate any interior space.

Features and Benefits:

- Lightweight Construction: The inherent lightness of Vi-Lux materials significantly eases the handling and installation process. This benefit translates into faster project completion times and reduced physical strain for installers.
- Moisture and Pest Resistance: A defining characteristic of Vi-Lux is its immunity to moisture damage and infestation by common wood-boring insects. This makes it an ideal choice for humid environments such as bathrooms, laundries, and basements, as well as for areas prone to pests.
- Precision Manufacturing: Vi-Lux products are manufactured using precision techniques, ensuring consistent dimensions, sharp details, and clean edges. This results in a professional and polished final appearance for any installation.
Benefits Derived from Features:

- Simplified Project Management: The ease of installation and low maintenance requirements contribute to a streamlined renovation or construction process, reducing project timelines and overall expenditure.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: The inert nature of the materials used in Vi-Lux mouldings means they do not off-gas harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to a healthier living environment.
- Versatile Application: Vi-Lux is suitable for a broad range of applications, from decorative trim around windows and doors to crown mouldings, baseboards, and wainscoting, providing a cohesive look throughout a building.
