A strange tag line maybe; but not too long ago a customer brought this to my attention in discussing the Fypon Trims and Mouldings. Woodpeckers love to go after wood because they can hear insects nestled deep within it. Polyurethane products do not attract insects because there is nothing yummy inside for them to munch on. If there are no insects inside then likewise there is nothing tasty for woodpeckers and other insect eaters to snack on. Please note, there have been rumors that a particular Fypon imitator makes “crinkle” sounds possibly leading birds do think they hear food. Your best bet is to never trust an imitator, always stick with Fypon.
Why else choose Fypon? The process of molding polyurethane allows for distinct lines and details that give you the true look of traditional wood, with virtually no maintenance required. No constant painting, no necessary sealing due to weather wear and tear. Going beyond traditional style, the molding process allows for much more intricate detailing than found on today’s pieced-together wood trims, corbels and brackets. Polyurethane molding also lends itself well to smooth lines such as in the Southwest collection of beams and shutters.
Whether your project calls for traditional, deco or modern design, Fypon low maintenance crossheads, trims, brackets and pilasters are the decorative millwork solution.

When most people think of Fypon or Polyurethane Millwork they think of Door Surrounds, Window Crossheads and Gable Vents; but Fypon Polyurethane Millwork is much more than that. It is a huge collection of classic and unique accents that can beatify both your interior and exterior all the while helping you set your home apart from the cookie cutter rest. The molding process of Polyurethane lends itself to a vast variety of highly detailed decorative items like brackets, corbels, dentil blocks and pediments. An improvement or design project no longer needs to be limited to the mundane; let your imagination run wild.
The standard features of Polyurethane Millwork, and the Fypon brand in particular are versatility, low maintenance, and splinter, moisture and insect resistance. Another great consideration with Fypon is that it is ready to be painted and does not require the long processes of sanding and priming that wood does. Starting off with an already smooth surface ensures an easier, less time consuming finishing; offering you more time to enjoy the beauty of your home, and less time working on it.
