Hi all, We are building a house, and one of the features I am currently trying to tackle is the cornice trim and gable returns. I don't like the idea of wood trim due to maintenance concerns but I also worry about the design limitations of aluminum. PVC looks like a possible option, but my builder didn't like the way it expands and contracts according to the temperatures. We live in KY, so summers will get into the 90's and winters can get to 0. In other words, there will be lots of opportunity for expansion/contraction. Just wondered if anyone has used it and had good results.

Hello Everyone! I have a 2-car carport with an attached 4' x 60' front overhang/porch that has severely cracked and alligatored paint on the ceiling. The substrate is plywood, which is in good shape, but sanding this down is out of the question! I'm looking for good, economical options to cover these ceilings. In a perfect world, something thin and lightweight that I could use to just 'skin' the ceilings, but that will be stable enough not to swell or warp in this central FL heat and humidity. I've considered solid vinyl soffit, but I'd rather have something with a flat surface if possible. Perhaps a thin flat PVC or other composite sheet that could be screwed/glued to the existing plywood and trimmed out - but I haven't seen anything like that. Any ideas? [ATTACH]64761[/ATTACH]
