Each profile is produced with the same Celuka technology as the company's trim boards. Your home buyers can choose from nine standard moldings and four specialized versions.

ResinArt, The DuraFlex trim molding by ResinArt, has been significantly re-formulated with Arnco's advanced urethane-based polymer technology. The trim molding contains no VOCs; is environmentally friendly; can be stained with water-based stains such as Minwax; and can withstand extreme heat and cold without warping, cracking or deteriorating.
