When installed vertically in FenceTrac’s 18-gauge galvanized steel U-channels, the aluminum-reinforced boards and steel frame combine to resist wind and impact forces effectively. This rigidity also supports LuxeCore’s ability to maintain its shape in varying environmental conditions.
Dimensional Stability and Warp Resistance
Unlike traditional wood or vinyl materials, LuxeCore’s aluminum core, combined with its nonporous PVC center and ASA shell, resists warping, moisture, and UV damage. This ensures the panels maintain their geometry over time. The ASA outer shell, commonly used in automotive exteriors, provides protection against temperature extremes.
The 6063-T5 alloy is also corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for high-moisture or marine environments where other metals might fail. This design ensures that LuxeCore panels remain structurally sound throughout their lifespan, meeting commercial-grade standards with minimal maintenance. Beyond maintaining form, the boards excel under harsh environmental conditions.
Environmental Stress Resistance
LuxeCore boards are built to handle wind speeds of up to 150 mph and boast a 5/5 impact-resistance rating.
