ABTCO and LP TrimBoard Problems Available to Be Reviewed by Class Action Lawyers

The attorneys working with Class Action.org would like to hear from property owners who experienced problems with TrimBoard, a manufactured or composite wood trim product also sold under the names Pro Trim and Choice Trim. TrimBoard is manufactured by ABT Building Products Corporations (ABTCO), which is owned by the Louisiana Pacific Corporation (LP), and, according to allegations, contains a defect which can lead to a number of problems, including premature failure of the product under normal conditions. If you experienced problems, including swelling, rotting or decay, with the LP and ABTCO TrimBoard, you may have legal recourse. To find out if can seek financial compensation for expenses associated with your TrimBoard problems, visit http://www.classaction.org/trimboard.html and complete the “Report a Complaint” form for a no cost, no obligation review of your claim. 

TrimBoard is marketed as a low cost trim for exterior use which is said to be “easier to use” and “more durable” than other trim products. However, the ABTCO and LP TrimBoard is allegedly unsuitable for exterior use, as it tends to absorb moisture under normal conditions, which can affect the longevity, stability and appearance of the wood trim product. Furthermore, it has been alleged that this tendency to absorb moisture can also cause a number of other TrimBoard problems, including swelling, decay and rotting which, in turn, could allow mold, mildew, fungi or insect infestation to develop.

The ABTCO and LP TrimBoard wood trim product comes in a variety of different widths and can be used around windows and doors, at corners of structures as corner board, as fascia or soffit near the roofline, as well as decorative trim on rail posts, columns and along porches or stair stringers. The LP and ABTCO TrimBoard is made of wood fibers, waxes and glues and has a paper surface which looks smooth or embossed with a cedar-like texture.  If you have noticed TrimBoard problems with this product, you may have legal recourse in light of allegations that that wood trim is defective and fails prematurely.
