I am looking to paint our house, but also wanting to clean up some of the previous owners dodginess at the same time. The house is a weather board clad home, and while the boards are ok for the most part, the corner pieces (plastic mouldings) do not completely cover the boards in some areas as the boards are not quite long enough, and miss the cover by between 10-20mm at the worst points. While there is only 3-4 boards that do this, it is on the front corner of the house so it is one of the first things I see ever day. The white 90 degree angle corner trims on the '4 corners' of the house are what I am refering to. The current ones look to be around 50mm x 50mm. These are simple 90 degree, nailed over the top of the weatherboard, and do not embed the boards themselves. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ So my 3 questions are as follows: 1. What on earth are these called? 2. Can you get bigger sizes, like 80-90mm? 3. Any suggestions of where i can find them? Bunnings has something similar to what is on the house at the moment, but I need bigger Thanks in advance Cheers, Anthony Re: PVC Corner trims on weatherboard house 3Sep 09, 2013 10:55 am Seeing as the corner strips are plastic are your weatherboards real timber or vinyl cladding ? It sounds like they have used some sort of plastic angle like this http://www.bunnings.com.au/bldg-mouldin ... +Mouldings as a weatherstrip on the corners. I can't find any bigger sizes than that in plastic although I'm sure someone makes them. Why not replace it with two strips of 70 x 8mm timber to make the 90º angle and paint it the same colour as your weatherboards ?

The weatherboards are actually a fibre/cement type of board, and as far as I can tell, have never been painted, which is why I am painting soon. I think that making new ones myself as you mentioned may be the way forward. Thanks for the help!
