"As a leading plastics recycler and manufacturer of high-performance composite building products, it's a logical step for A.E.R.T. to enter the exterior trim and moulding market," says Brent Gwatney, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for MoistureShield.

Made with a 50/50 blend of recycled wood fibers and recycled polyethylene plastics, MoistureShield trim and moulding products contain a minimum of 90% recycled content and can help builders earn points in popular green building rating systems. The total encapsulation process helps ensure the materials are resistant to rot, decay, moisture and insects.

MoistureShield trim and moulding products are also easy to handle and come with a limited lifetime warranty. Builders can use standard tools and fasteners to cut and install the products, which come in a variety of sizes and two primed profiles - smooth or wood grain.
