Better than wood. Nels-Tek™ is expanded, rigid, cellular, white PVC superior to wood in virtually any non-stress bearing application. It has been developed using a small-cell microstructure creating a density similar to white pine. Nels-Tek™ has a unique and unparalleled range of physical properties, with a texture and uniformity that make it the future of exterior trim. Nels-Tek™ looks and feels like wood, while addressing most of the problems commonly associated with exterior applications of pine or cedar.

Consistant. Nels-Tek™ is extruded from the finest grades of PVC resins and other polymers, ensuring a level of consistency and durability that is unmatched in the industry. Manufactured utilizing breakthrough compounding and extruding technology to demanding specifications, the Nels-Tek™ line is backed by the industry's only lifetime warranty.

Resistant. Nels-Tek™ offers an array of weatherability features not found in any known woods. These include resistance to moisture, rot, mildew, cupping, splitting, delaminating, or warping. Nels-Tek™ is resistant to all insects, including termites and carpenter ants.

Nels-Tek™ can be applied in areas where it will make direct contact with masonry, concrete, ground, or other potentially wet surfaces with no adverse effects. It is ideal for use in areas of high humidity or salt and fresh water environments.

The superior durability of Nels-Tek™ is derived from the fact that it is impervious to moisture. Most common problems with wood in exterior applications result from moisture absorption. This leads to paint blistering, cracking, peeling, and decay of the wood itself.

Nels-Tek™ does not require painting to maintain its superior resistance to weather. It will retain its white color and shape regardless of the application, and will not mildew or rot. Nels-Tek™ will not yellow. If desired, Nels-Tek™ can be finished, using recommended paints for a fabulous finish that will last for years. (Some paint manufacturers will warranty their product on Nels-Tek™ for up to 25 years.)

Equipment. Another advantage of Nels-Tek™ is that it shapes, mills, bends, and machines much easier than wood and other PVC products. Traditional woodworking equipment can be used to achieve practically any finished fabricated assembly you can imagine. Additionally, a wide range of assembly techniques, such as power nailing, stapling, and gluing can be utilized. Nels-Tek™ is uniform throughout, with no core voids, grain or knots to worry about.

For all exterior trim applications such as fascias, soffits, rakes, frieze, and cornerboards, Nels-Tek™ is the answer. It can be machined into items such as fluted pilasters, gingerbread, and a variety of custom millwork styles to create a total package of products. Nels-Tek™ allows the look and feel of wood while addressing the problems commonly associated with exterior wood applications. It is truly the future of exterior trim products and comes with a lifetime warranty.
