Temperatures may fluctuate, but Ultrex® won’t.                            EXPANSION MEASUREMENT

Premium Finish.

Ultrex is the first and only fiberglass finish to be verified to 624-10,
AAMA’s voluntary finish specifications for fiber reinforced
thermoset profiles (fiberglass). The Ultrex
patented acrylic cap finish is verified
AAMA 623-10 and 624-10, and has
passed the AAMA 625-10 lab based
performance test protocols; 625-10
outdoor weathering test protocols
are in process.
