Need help with ID of trim boards

[Scottpat]

I need some help and or information on a type of trim board I have never seen It has been used on a home that has Hardy plank siding on it. A critter, most likely a squirrel has been gnawing on sections of it.

The inside of the board is a hard white almost crystalline material. I have no idea what it is. Any ideas??

Have you seen Azek? It's hard & white, but I'm not sure I'd describe it as crystalline.

That was my first thought. I stopped by a supply store that stocks Azek and it is nothing like what I found on this home. Azek had very little texture to it on the cut ends.

The stuff on this home had just about the density and texture of fine pumice.

Hi Scott,

Is it a newer home? Maybe it's HardiTrim.

I thought at first it was Hardi Trim, but it is white. All of the Hardi trim I have seen has had a tan color on the inside when it is cut. It is not Fypon, that is just like plastic.

Heck I don't have a clue on this one. It is one of those I don't know days!

PVC??? Do not know the correct name of the product but I saw some PVC based trim in Lowes the other day. It was textured like a hardi trim is and hard.

It was Fypon..... I got with the owner and he put me in touch with the builder. First time I had ever seen this product. Squirrels sure do love it!
