[MassHistPres] experience with Azek?

[Sullivan, Charles M.]

The Cambridge Historical Commission has adopted a policy in historic districts of allowing cellular PVC in place of ground-contact lumber (like bottom step risers and porch skirt boards) and rooftop balustrades (if traditional profiles are duplicated). Most lumber commonly available today has approximately the permanence of cardboard in these situations, and we do not wish to make homeowners replace these elements more frequently than necessary.

Subject: [MassHistPres] experience with Azek?

Has anyone had experience with use of Azek-cellular PVC to "replicate" architectural details on a historic building?  And is such acceptable for a tax-credit project?

Any input would be most appreciated.
