3D Laminated Woodgrain PVC
Posted by RWB on Feb 25th 2025
So they said it couldn't be done. 3D laminating on exterior grade PVC and Polyurethane products. For decades 3D lam has been used on furniture and cabinetry, producing beautiful results. But it's use is very limited in the US for exterior products. For more very exciting news on that, keep reading.
There is also a different process that Versatex Building Products has developed and mastered called the Canvas Series by Versatex.
That process has created an entire new product category in the building materials market and has grown dramatically in the years since it's inception. The Canvas Series provides beautiful woodgrain finished boards in V-groove and Beadboard styles that can be used in many applications. Porch ceilings, soffits, siding, accent walls, and much more. And they have a crown molding and bed molding to trim out those spaces. Watch the official Versatex Canvas Series introduction video for more info:
They also have 1x8 and 1x12 pre-finished woodgrain boards in the same 10 gorgeous finishes. Not only are these Canvas Series finishes stunningly beautiful and easy to install. They have the Versatex lifetime warranty. And, unlike wood, they will never require refinishing. There is no better value on the market today for the end uses mentioned here.
Versatex Canvas Series has also recently introduced an innovative new pre-finished woodgrain column wrap called the VersaWrap. The very popular VersaWrap product is now available in select Canvas colors. Watch this official Versatex Canvas Series video for more info:
The Versatex Canvas Series product line is the material of dreams for so many applications. Which is why it's growth in the marketplace has been so phenomenal.
Even with all of it's benefits and versatility, there are still projects that come along that homeowners, Architects, Builders, and Designers wish that there were other products available that could complete that picture that is their dream. Well, now there is! We at Wholesalemillwork.com are ready to complete the vision of your project. You no longer have to say "okay, I guess that's as close as we can get".
The Versatex Canvas Series process is pure mastery at applying these woodgrain laminates to straight PVC profiles like crown moldings and bead boards, etc. But it is unable to produce that same finish on products like tapered column wraps to match that porch ceiling. Or siding.
So let's say you're using the Versatex Canvas Series Bead Board for your soffit and trimming it with the matching crown molding. But you want corbels every three feet or so to give it that "look" you really want. And you want them to match. Sorry, not available. Until now.
Or you're using Versatex Canvas Series on your porch ceiling and you want tapered column wraps for the posts. Maybe flat. Or raised panel. Or recessed panel. Maybe you want a decorative ceiling medallion to really set off that ceiling fan or chandelier. Well now you can have them. While the medallion in the photo below may not be your style (not mine either) it shows the intricate detailing we can achieve with our highly refined 3D lamination process.
Wholesalemillwork.com is here to partner with Versatex to complete the Canvas Series package. Now it can be everything that you want it to be.
But what so uniquely qualifies Wholesalemillwork.com for this? First, we have been master fabricators of PVC products for well over 25 years. From small onesy twosy jobs, to large molding buildups for schools, commercial buildings, and even a Royal Carribean Cruise Lines call center. Thousands of brackets and corbels and Gable decorations. We have ability to heat and bend PVC. We have eight high end CNC routers. We have over 55,000 square feet manufacturing space.
We have been 3D laminating for over 30 years. We have seven laminating presses of different configurations for different needs. Most 3dL companies get into it to do the simple stuff like cabinet doors. Not us. We are top tier in 3DL. Our primary products are medical furniture and automotive products. We only do high degree of difficulty products.
So that is why we set out to develop the process and the materials to 3D laminate PVC. We have fine tuned the process. We have developed the exact formulation of the material needed. It is exterior/interior grade. It is solar/heat reflective. It is woodgrain texture.
These products will be available Spring of 2025 when the material production is completed. Stay tuned.
