General description
The EZ-Trim Redipak contains all of the PVC trim board parts required to assemble a professional looking window or door surround
using basic tools and PVC glue. The components are designed to be assembled on a at surface and then hung on the opening,
much like you would assemble and hang a picture frame. Prior to installation insure that the window or door is installed and
waterproofed to the manufacturer’s specication. (The EZ-Trim Surround is NOT intended to be part of the window waterproong
system.) Always install ashing at the top of the surround to prevent water inltration.
1. Tools needed for this project: Drill Driver with 3” long #2
Phillips bit head, miter saw or miter box, tape measure,
medium body clear PVC pipe glue and at assembly
surface.
2. Identifying Parts: Remove pieces from the box and
identify the head, sill, (2) jambs and screw packs. Place
on a at surface in a face up orientation where they will be
assembled.
3. Measure the opening size of the window or door: Make
an exact measurement of the height and width of the frame
and check the squareness of the opening by measuring
across the diagonal in both directions. If the diagonal
measurements differ by more than 1/8” you will have to
oversize the surround.
4. Calculating the length of the Head and Sill: Using a tape
measure, measure the width of the window framing across
the header of the window. Add 7-¼” (7.250”) to the length of
the opening width. This measurement will produce a 1/8-
inch wide reveal around each edge. (If no reveal is required,
add 7” to the width measurement. If a larger reveal is
desired, add from 7-3/8” to 7-½” to the width measurement.)
5. Shortening the Head and Sill: Both the head and the sill
are oversized and require shorting. Shorten the head from
either end to the desired length.
6. THE SILL MUST BE SHORTENED BY CUTTING EQUAL
AMOUNTS FROM BOTH
ENDS IN ORDER TO
MAINTAIN THE POCKET
HOLES ON BOTH ENDS.
Identify cut lines by placing the part such that the pocket
holes are visible. Place a measuring tape across the sill and
mark the location of BOTH horizontal cuts. If the cut mark
falls on the pocket holes, reposition the tape by shifting it
slightly to the left or the right until a position is found where
the cuts will not interfere with the recessed holes. Mark and
cut one end using a miter saw. Make the cut as square and
straight as possible. Check the accuracy of the other cut
mark. Cut the other end of the sill.
7. Calculating the length and cutting the Jambs: Add ¼”
(.250”) to the opening height measurement. Adding this
factor will create a 1/8”
reveal at both the top and
the bottom. (If an exact
t is desired do not add
this factor.) The top is
the end that contains the
two pocket holes on the
back side. SHORTEN
THE JAMBS TO THE DESIRED LENGTH BY CUTTING
FROM THE BOTTOM END ONLY.
8. Dry Assembly: It may be desirable to test the t of the
surround to the opening prior to permanently assembling
the unit. To do so, follow the assembly instructions
below omitting the glue. Once the desired t is achieved,
disassemble and repeat the assembly process using glue to
achieve a permanent bond.
ASSEMBLY OF THE UNIT MUST BE DONE IN THE
FOLLOWING ORDER.
9. Attaching the Head: Place the head and jambs face
down on a at assembly surface. Align the parts so that
they meet squarely and are aligned at the edges. Apply a
modest amount of PVC glue or epoxy to the mating pieces.
Use caution not to allow glue to accumulate on the lower
front surface of the parts as this will mar the surface. Insert
the screws provided in the pocket holes and secure. (Use
caution not to overtighten – tighten until the seams of the
mating parts are ush.) Immediately remove or wipe away
any excess glue.

10. Attaching the Sill: Invert
the part into the face up
position (turn it over).
Apply PVC glue to the
mating parts of the joints
and attach the Sill in the
same manner as the head.
11. Attachment of optional Ornamental Header – Measure and
shorten the inside of Crown Header to the width of the Head
by cutting either end with a 45 degree miter cut. Be sure to
measure and cut from the shortest point on the existing 45
degree ends.
12. Apply glue to the face of the head, attach part and secure
from the back side using the screws provided.
13. Separate the corner keys by breaking apart. Use the long
corner keys if a ush mount is desired or the short corner
keys to leave ¾” gap for use with J-Channel or siding that is
ush with the sides of the surround. Attach the corner keys
by gluing and tacking in place.
14. Mount and attach the surround to the wall using at least
two (2) fasteners every 16” on each member. Construction
adhesive may also be used in addition to fasteners.
15. Painting instructions: EZ-Trim does not require painting
for protection, but can be painted. 100% acrylic latex or
100% acrylic latex with a urethane additive should be used to
achieve superior coating adhesion and exibility. Only light to
medium colored paints with a light reective value (LRV) of
56 units or greater should be applied to EZ-Trim. Using paints
with an LRV below 56 units will void our product warranty.
Consult the paint manufacturer for the LRV of your paint. To
maintain the warranty for customer colors in darker shades,
use heat reective paint with Vinyl-Safe Technology. (A color
is considered dark if it possessing a LRV of 55 or less.)
