, the PVC column-wrap system from VERSATEX, now comes in a range of realistic woodgrain finishes as well as the original solid white. These finishes have been field-tested and proven on the popular VERSATEX Canvas Series of wood-toned mouldings, WP4 T&G profiles, and Stealth brand beadboard, a VERSATEX Building Products spokesman said.
鈥淏y combining the maintenance-free performance of premium cellular PVC with the warm personalities of natural woods, new Canvas Series VERSAWRAP offers builders, architects and homeowners a wider-than-ever range of creative possibilities,鈥� said VERSATEX President Scott Van Winter.
Rick Kapres, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, called the extended product line a natural progression. 鈥淔or years, our customers have relied on VERSAWRAP鈥檚 labor-saving, no-waste design and picture-perfect results,鈥� he said. 鈥淲ith VERSAWRAP, one worker can snap a beautiful, weatherproof shell around an unfinished wooden post in just a few minutes, instead of cutting and fastening four mitered corners for every column.鈥�
鈥淢eanwhile, for flat surfaces, our hardwood-inspired Canvas Series has been a runaway success鈥攆irst as soffits and ceilings, then as an exterior or interior cladding solution, especially for accent walls.鈥�
鈥淪o it was just a matter of time until industry professionals asked us to enhance the function and convenience of VERSAWRAP with the curb appeal of the Canvas Series. Now, after our usual methodical program of research, design and testing,鈥� Mr. Kapres said, 鈥淚鈥檓 happy to announce we鈥檙e supplying 6鈥� x 6鈥� x 10鈥� Canvas Series VERSAWRAP in three colors: Kitami, Turner Oak and Natural Amber, with matching accent wraps and base mouldings.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檝e already done field trials on real-life projects, and builders absolutely love it.鈥�
He said that VERSATEX will continue to supply VERSAWRAP in solid white. Incidentally, he noted, his company has just rolled out a tenth Canvas Series color. 鈥淔or our traditional Canvas tongue-and-groove profiles, we鈥檙e introducing Champagne Oak, a lighter, kind of Cape Cod stone-washed gray.鈥�
