Entrance trim
Entrance trim
Spectis entrance and window trim is factory primed polyurethane crossheads and arch trim. It will not rot if installed properly, and it is made to order.
What entrance trim is for
A crosshead is the trim across the top of a door or window. Arch trim is the curved piece over an arched opening. The product size is projection, height, and the width of that piece.
How to measure
Measure the outside of the door or window trim, not the door slab. The crosshead width should cover that opening. On an arch, the inside dimension is the size of the opening the arch has to span. If you are matching an existing crosshead, measure projection and height and search that size.
How it is made
These are high density polyurethane. Spectis cuts, nails, and glues like wood, and the same piece is used inside and outside. It ships double primed white, ready to paint or stain. A specialty paint finish can make a primed piece look like wood. Installed correctly, it will not rot, warp, or crack.
How to install
Use PL Premium on every bedding joint and every butt joint. Other adhesives can damage the urethane. Finish nails or screws hold the piece while the adhesive cures. Adhesive, nails, and finish are sold separately. If the product or the installation steps are changed, that is on the installer.
How long it takes
Pieces are made for the order, so they are not returnable. The order goes to the Spectis plant in Manitoba the same day. Most orders ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Larger orders can take up to 4 weeks. Confirm the SKU, the size, and the quantity before you buy.
Shipping a long piece
Anything over 72 inches ships by freight. A 12 foot piece ships in a wooden crate. On a smaller order we can cut a long piece in half. The shipping prices on the site are for a commercial address. A residence costs more after checkout. Call 800-986-1250 before a large order. Shipping is often lower, and on some orders it is free.
Use PL Premium on every joint. Pieces over 7 feet ship by freight. Shop entrance and window trim or call 800-986-1250.
