Plastic extrusion products offer a huge range of benefits to any homeowner. From landscaping beautification to custom piping systems, custom extrusion products offer a lot.

Custom plastic extrusion plays a significant role in residential construction and remodeling by providing durable, cost-effective, and customizable solutions for various applications throughout the home. Here are some of the most commonly used custom extrusion products in residential settings:

Molding & Trim

Extruded plastic profiles are used as trim and molding throughout residential interiors and exteriors. They provide decorative accents and coverings for transitions between different surfaces, such as between walls and floors or around doors and windows.

Rigid Profiles & Frames

Extruded plastic profiles are often used as frames for windows, doors, and other common heavy-traffic carpentry in residential buildings. These profiles offer durability, damage resistance, and low maintenance compared to traditional materials like wood or metal.
