Kleer Lumber spent nearly 2 years researching and perfecting the way cellular PVC is made. By asking building professionals what they expected in a PVC Trimboard and consulting consumers on what they wanted, Kleer Lumber developed a process that addressed those needs and now produces the next generation PVC trimboard, sheets, mouldings, and other PVC building materials.
