“We know builders using luxury siding rely on thicker exterior trim products, so we’re confident our new 1¼-inch composite trim is the best solution in both performance and value,” said Peggie Bolan, Vice President and General Manager, Building Products for JELD-WEN, the manufacturer of MiraTEC trim.

On display at the 2016 International Builders’ Show (IBS), the new 1¼-inch option from MiraTEC is one solid piece of trim, unlike other products that are laminated to reach this thickness. MiraTEC was created to overcome all of the challenges inherent to exterior trim.

Also on display at IBS was a close-up of a new MiraTEC siding product that the new 1¼-inch exterior trim will complement. The new siding is anticipated to be available in the second half of 2016.

THE TEC™ Competitive Advantage

Available in a wide variety of sizes for commercial and residential projects, MiraTEC Treated Exterior Composite trim is an engineered wood trim that offers architects, contractors, builders and specifiers high performance at a value. Unlike other trim products, it resists moisture, rot, termites, warping, splitting and cracking, and is easy to handle, machine, cut and nail. MiraTEC trim is backed by a 50-year limited warranty* and is a better value than fiber cement or PVC trim.

In addition to the new 1¼-inch thickness MiraTEC Treated Exterior Composite trim is also available in ¾-inch, 1-inch, and ⅝-inch thicknesses, widths from 2-16” and in 16’ lengths.
