Forever Home
Inside and Out Detailing | Forever Home Ep. 12
In episode 12 of Forever Home, architect Steve Baczek walks through the latest progress on his personal build, covering exterior and interior finish work in detail. Outside, the focus is on Azek cellular PVC trim — chosen for its durability in New England's demanding climate — alongside Maibec pre-finished Atlantic white cedar shingles, Tucheo triple-glazed European windows, and a ventilated rain screen assembly. Inside, Baczek breaks down the trim package, including two-piece baseboards, Scotia molding, and coffered ceiling framing, while spotlighting interior doors from Architectural Concepts — engineered with no-added-formaldehyde MDF cores and solid poplar edge banding.
