Why it exists

Wood is beautiful for a few seasons. Aluminum F/X keeps that look for decades, without the maintenance cycle that wears wood out.

Natural wood fades, cracks, warps and needs ongoing staining or sealing. AFX panels give homeowners, builders, developers and architects the same warm, architectural look in a durable exterior finish that’s premium without being out of reach.

Why Aluminum F/X

Everything you like about wood. None of the upkeep.

Built for demanding exterior conditions and backed by fire-performance and coating-performance testing. It looks like wood and performs like aluminum.

No staining or sealing

No painting, staining, sealing or seasonal touch-ups. The finish is factory-applied powder coat.

Won’t rot, warp or crack

Extruded aluminum stays straight and true through freeze-thaw, sun and moisture.

Concealed fastening

Tongue-and-groove panels hide every fastener for clean, continuous architectural lines.

Non-combustible

Tested to CAN/ULC S135 for non-combustibility and CAN/ULC S102 for flame spread.

Hail and impact resistant

Impact and hail resistance that exceeds standard aluminum siding.

Critter-proof soffit

Pests can’t chew through it, so eaves and rafters stay sealed season after season.

“It looks more like wood, than wood looks like wood.”
Peter T. · Real estate developer

Woodgrain finishes

Five woodgrains. One performance standard.

Every finish runs on the same Element Line panels, clips and trims. Choose on looks alone, then confirm with a physical sample.

Screen colour and lighting vary. We recommend physical samples before final selection.
