New PVC TRIM-BOARD Screw

The Simpson Strong-Tie® PVC Trim-Board screw is a special-purpose fastener engineered for easy, low-torque installations of exterior PVC trim and fascia onto wood. The fastener's triple-thread design, box-shaped cutter head and flat underhead allow seemingly effortless installations with higher pull-through resistance than other trim-head screws. The PVC Trim-Board screw produces clean, flush finishes.

Available in a white exterior-grade coating that provides medium-level corrosion resistance, the screw is excellent for outdoor trim applications while blending into popular white PVC trim. Click here to learn more.
