A:  There are several manufacturers that produce fasteners specifically intended for use with cellular PVC. (See list below). You can also use fasteners designed for wood trim. They should have thin shanks, blunt points and full round heads. Fasteners should penetrate 1½” into substrate. Fasteners should be positioned no less than ¾” or more than 2” from end of boards. Fasteners must be weather resistant, such as stainless steel. For interior trim, such as casing, base, quarter round and crown, use 16 gauge finish nails, 6d or 8d finish nails. Pneumatic guns can be used ‐ rubber bumpers on the nail gun tooling will protect the moulding. Air pressure should be adjusted based upon gun, temperature, substrate (80‐100 psi is typical). Always use the least pressure necessary to drive the nail into the product.).Trim should be fastened to a flat solid surface. In cold weather below 40°F, predrilling may be necessary. Do not use brads or wire nails. Staples can only be used to fasten beaded planking.

A:  The length on this item is 8'. Thank you

A:  This is not impervious to a cat's claws. The PVC is relatively soft. It "dents" easily. Having 6 cats in my household, I would not use this as door trim. What I might do is design and build a cat scratcher that could be attached to the wall next to the place where the cat scratches. This could be a 4" to 6" wide board wrapped in 1/4" sisal rope and placed high enough so that your cat could stretch and scratch. Cats can be trained to scratch where you want them to scratch, too.

A:  It can be used as an interior moulding to frame a door. Thank you

A:  This is ready to use, does not need to be painted. Thank you

A:  This can be painted any color you like. You can use this as it is. I have left mine as they are; however, I am using this item as a picture shelf.
