In moldings, wood making way for plastic

Article Abstract:

Wood still accounts for an estimated 75% of molding sales, but plastic moldings are becoming more popular. Plastic moldings are pre-finished, durable, easy to install, maintenance free, and consistent in quality. Professional contractors' perception that plastic moldings are inferior to wood moldings is mistaken, according to BMC West's Herb Gunderson.
