    Default Azek vs fypon

    Please explain as simply as possible the main differences between Azek and fypon for outdoor column trimming which will be hit by cold, rain, and winter snow.

    One contractor estimated materials at double the cost using the Azek. rather than the Fypon...wondered if the Azek is a better material...

    OK, there's interior Fypon, which is urethane, and exterior Fypon which is PVC. I assume the guy priced the PVC stuff for the exterior application . . . or maybe not. If only one contractor had this bid phenomenon, he probably effed up his bidding and priced the interior stuff.

    BTW - everything I'm telling you is obtained on the manufacturer's websites. Suggest you continue your inquiry there, and with their respective technical departments.
