Flexible Trim

I just discovered a great product for exterior and interior window and door trim that is bendable and flexible! Flex-Trim, based in North Carolina for the east coast and Utah for us folks here in the west coast, makes an exciting product that saves money and time.

Their Flex Trim™ is made from a unique polymer resin blend, easily allowing the product to follow a curve or radius.

Their premium product ZzzzFLEX™ is made from an elastomer composite which is extremely strong, durable, and stainable.

Ultra-Flex is a syntactic polyurethane compound with a cellular composition structure similar to wood. One of the main advantages of this material is that it 40-50% lighter than other flexible moulding formulations, yet retains the necessary strength and durability. It comes PRE-PRIMED for superior painting and staining and is “back sanded” for better glue adhesion.

I'm inspired to put curves and arches everywhere now!

Happy designing!

Black Trim For Drama

Trim or moulding color in a room is really like cuff links on a tux, or diamond jewelry on a gown. It is the finishing touch that outlines and finalizes the body of what is present. Traditionally, trim color is painted white, and I recommend a bright crisp white for nearly all of my clients. But every now and then, a space calls for something more dramatic, something more graphic, more bold. And nothing defines a space better than a solid, deep black. Just look at how the spaces below tighten up with an assured, striking black trim. It is edgy, modern, and thoroughly chic.
