Fypon products are the perfect material for homeowners exterior or interior trim. They are a lightweight material that is easy to work with. Its closed cell structure resists water absorption. this helps prevent the material from splitting, flaking, chipping, or bloating. Due to the ability to mold the material, decorative trims with detailed designs are easy to produce. Large moulding profiles can be made out of one piece of polyurethane, instead of layering wood to create the same look. This saves on labor and time.
Polyurethane has an authentic wood appearance and can be moulded to resemble actual wood grain. Once the product is stained, it is difficult to tell if it is wood or polyurethane. Polypropylene has a finish that gives it a slight shine and usually is not solid through the piece. Polypropylene is also a thermoplastic polymer and can warp with intense heat
