(HIT) - Nothing brightens a home’s personality more dramatically than brilliant color. It’s easy to freshen your home’s exterior with color trim around windows, doors, or along corners. With color trim, there are endless ways you can evoke any emotion or personality you desire. Whether you wish for tranquility, elegance or modernism, it’s time to add some color to your "to-do" list.

Offering the most advanced cellular PVC trim solution, IQm Trim has the industry’s only color-through design that’s available in 17 colors. Its patented AquaFlex fin helps minimize moisture penetration.

Manufactured by the Tapco Group, IQ^m™ Trim is the only cellular PVC Trim that brings a profoundly beautiful palette of colors to personalize virtually any home.

In comparison to "paint-ready" PVC trim and painted wood that requires regular maintenance, IQ^m is an enjoyment-ready, revolutionary trim product. It is the only cellular PVC trim with color-through richness available in a wide 17-choice color spectrum. Other cellular products are available only in white or a small range of neutrals, or must be coated with a factory finish.

While paint-ready PVC can add colorful appeal, it also adds the cost of rollers, brushes and related supplies, in addition to specially-formulated PVC-suitable paint that can reach $40 a gallon.

For homes that have previously featured painted wood trim, IQ^m delivers an improved turnkey solution that does away with the need to ever sand, scrape and repaint trim – or worse – replace rotted, warped or termite-infested trim. With IQ^m, homeowners won’t have to buy a cart of paint supplies and spend a weekend on a ladder. Or they won’t have to spend over a thousand dollars, plus paint costs, to have professionals paint the home’s trim. Moreover, they will never have to make those same investments in time and money every several years to recapture their home’s beauty.

Once IQ^m is installed, it delivers decades of maintenance-free beauty with enhanced weathering performance. Protected from fading by a durable ASA cap, each of the 17 available shades will retain its rich color. Starting with brilliant Polar White and ending with deep Ebony, IQ^m’s extensive spectrum ranges from subtle, classic inspirations to the remarkably exuberant.

Butterscotch and Espresso Brown are among the five colors in IQ^m’s tan/brown range. Colors such as spicy Cabernet, crisp Vermont Green and stunning Indigo Blue bring out bold personality. For classic sophistication, Antique Cream, Castle Grey or Sagebrush choices provide outstanding accents.

Along with extraordinary color and durability, IQ^m provides an additional benefit to homeowners. Its patented AquaFlex™ fin protects a home’s building envelope, guiding water away from the wall to minimize the chances for water intrusion or resulting mold. An integrated 1-in. J-channel also delivers an easy, finished appearance by hiding cut edges and caulk applications that can interrupt a clean look. The J-channel also means faster, more efficient installations for contractors. The trim’s deep pocket can accommodate a variety of siding materials including fiber cement, vinyl, stone and wood. Simple to work with, IQ^m can be cut, drilled, nailed or fastened with screws just like other trim materials. Its unique color-through design delivers seamless color even with imperfect miter cuts.

With IQ^m homeowners can add color with confidence. IQ^m carries a limited lifetime warranty against peeling, flaking or blistering and a 10-year excessive fade warranty (calculated per ASTM D2244).

IQ^m trim is available in 1" x 4" x 12’6" and 1" x 6" x 12’6" board sizes, along with corresponding outside trim corners. A universal inside corner is also available.
