Can Echon products be painted?
Although Echon PVC products do not need to be painted, some choose to paint them with an LRV below 55 units. The best types of paint to use are acrylic, PVC paint and two-component polyurethane compound. Echon PVC does not need to be primed before painting, but it can be for better results.
Are PVC building products environmentally responsible?
PVC building materials are highly durable and long-lasting, which reduces the need for frequent replacement and contributes to long-term resource efficiency. PVC products are also a great substitute for using wood. By helping reduce the number of trees cut down, we believe Echon is ultimately helping keep the world green.
Product Performance
Why choose PVC instead of wood?
PVC building materials offer several advantages over wood:
- No rot or decay
- Termite resistance
- Waterproof performance
- Greater dimensional stability – less expansion & contraction
- Lower long-term maintenance
This makes PVC ideal for exterior and interior building applications.
How is PVC compared to wood in workability, such as cutting, nailing, drilling, etc.?
Echon PVC can be easily worked with standard tools that are used for woodworking and carpentry. It can be cut, turned, drilled, planned, milled, screwed and much more. It can be nailed easily. It is advised to nail Echon material at least 6 millimeters from the edge to avoid splitting. It can be drilled like wood. While bolting, a larger size washer should be used to spread the weight load.
Are Echon products waterproof?
Yes. PVC does not absorb moisture and will not swell or deteriorate when exposed to water.
Are Echon products termite resistant?
Yes. PVC materials are not susceptible to termite damage.
Do your products warp, split, or crack?
Our engineered PVC formulations are designed to resist warping, splitting, and cracking commonly associated with wood products.
Will salt water corrode Echon PVC boards?
Salt water will not corrode Echon PVC boards. So, it is safe to install PVC by the beach.
Will PVC boards corrode?
No, PVC boards will not corrode from natural weathering, water, and insects as long as Echon’s PVC products are used and maintained properly. An example of misuse and wrongful maintenance is if acid or harmful chemicals are applied to the board.
Can Echon products, such as columns, be used in structural applications?
No, Echon products cannot be used in structural applications. These are for decorative applications. Check with your architect or builder.
