INSTALLATION BEST PRACTICES
Application & Installation Information
Proper installation of Belco XT Trim garage wrap ensures optimal performance and durability. The trim should be securely fastened to the rough framed opening, providing a clean, finished appearance while enhancing protection against moisture and wear.
When installing garage wrap, ensure that the trim does not come into direct contact with concrete at the bottom. Prolonged exposure to concrete can lead to moisture absorption, which may cause swelling or deterioration over time. By maintaining a slight gap between the trim and concrete, builders can preserve the material’s integrity and longevity.

COMMON MATERIALS
Garage Wrap Material Options
Garage wrap can be installed using a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and limitations. Traditional wood trims, such as cedar or Southern Yellow Pine (SYP), are widely used for their availability and natural aesthetic. Cedar, being naturally decay-resistant, can last longer than untreated woods but comes with a higher price tag and may still swell or discolor when exposed to moisture over time. SYP, while cost-effective, often suffers from natural defects like knots and warping, and unprimed wood requires time consuming preparation steps that can lead to aesthetic and functional complications.
Manufactured materials, including fiber cement and oriented strand board (OSB), offer an alternative to wood. Fiber cement is resistant to rot and natural imperfections, but it is heavy, brittle, and prone to unnecessary waste. OSB, while better in terms of length options and cost, is highly porous and susceptible to water absorption, leading to swelling and durability issues, particularly at the ends of boards in contact with moisture.
Belco XT Trim systematically resolves these material shortcomings through innovative manufacturing and design. Kiln-dried and preservative treatment that reinforces every fiber, the trim delivers comprehensive protection against rot, insect damage, and moisture infiltration. Its factory-applied proprietary prime coat guarantees a consistently smooth finish capable of withstanding harsh environmental challenges, and providing a perfect canvas for various design choices. By integrating durability, design versatility, and cost-efficiency, Belco XT Trim transcends conventional material limitations. Builders and homeowners gain a singular solution that harmonizes performance, aesthetic sophistication, and cost efficiency without compromise.
