Hi there. The upvc trims look alright, Need a more wider trim but I was told by a builder to purchase these ventilation trims. Are these better? It provides ventilation which is good.

Those look like weep vents for uPVC windows.

You are right. Ill just reorder a wider upvc trim. Will it be alright if its blocked off all without any ventilation holes etc.?

 

[dan2002]

Can you paint over upvc trims or will the paint come off? Would you need to spray paint it instead?

 

[opps]

You can paint uPVC but unless you are using a compressor/turbine/airless sprayer with 2 pack polyurethane paint, I have no idea how long it will last.

I have painted pvc pipes, meter cabinets, electrical enclosures etc with non-drip oil-based gloss. A single flowing coat. No undercoat or primer.

I don't know how long it lasts yet as the oldest ones are only about 25 years old. The ones exposed to sunlight and weather are losing their gloss.

clean with a green scourer and detergent first, after wiping dry, use a clean scourer with white spirit followed by a dry rag to roughen the surface and remove any greasiness.

I've used Zinsser upvc paint with a brush and roller, two coats, one part paint. Claimed to last 15 years however it's applied.

Hi there again. My new upvc trims have come. A more wider version. I want to drill pilot holes in the trims so that the roof can stay ventilated. Would this look nice? I would only drill a few small holes, not many.
