These are the polystyrene things. They need to be painted but presumably will hold up better(?) I checked out their site and they mention all over the place that the product expands and contracts. That makes me a bit nervous about how well paint & caulk will adhere over time. Anyone have any experience or can suggest a better alternative to wood.
Thanks.
