Technology

Our customers vary from display and furniture manufacturers to window and door manufacturers. Besides replacing wood, we also produce parts to replace rolled steel and aluminum-finished or colored to meet specific customer needs. We would be pleased to work with your engineers in designing products to meet your specifications.
The expanded PVC process developed by Gossen is called the free expansion of PVC. This method eliminates PVC stress found in lesser processes. Gossen has developed several compound variations that offer products with a specific gravity (density) of .45 - .70. Much lower than wood, the lack of stress in these products makes them easy to staple, nail, and fabricate, and, are more stable than wood. Our compounds carry a UL-VO-94 rating, the best rating a product can achieve for vertical fire testing. Our compounds also test very low in smoke contribution.
In order to meet the needs of the Window and door industry, Gossen developed the Celuka Process for extrusion of Cellular PVC. This process allows us to produce parts to tighter tolerances for these customers. This process also offers a very hard surface and has a specific gravity (density) of .55 to .80.

PVC Benefits
The life cycle maintenance advantages of PVC building products, which don't require use of treatments such as paint or harsh cleansers can directly replace decorative wood products in construction or remodeling.
Finished Mouldings
Interior finished mouldings are easily installed and are all prefinished in natural woodgrain colors and finished in popular interior decorative profiles for your home or business.
Jambseal
A PVC perimeter garage door stop that is easy to install and superior to wood or aluminum. The co-extruded flexible flap seals the door form the weather and will not rot.
Millwork
All of our millwork profiles are made to WMMPA standard patterns. Some of these patterns have been in use since the mid 1800's. However, unlike wood, our PVC will not rot, resists mold and fungus and will not absorb moisture. They are made of weatherable compounds to resist the elements.
Windows and Doors
Cellular PVC insulates 60% better than wood and 214% better than Hollow Rigid Vinyl. It is easy to fabricate using existing woodworking equipment. Meet or exceeds AAMA 308-05 Standards.
OEM
Cellular PVC is a replacement for wood or aluminum products that are non-structural. Besides being moisture resistant, it also has an excellent fire rating UL-VO-94. Also, its screw holding power is better than pine.
