[r1]The NBCC limit for air leakage is 0.3 L/s per sq. m. (0.06 cfm/sq. ft.)at a pressure difference of 75Pa

[r2]This applies to projects where, by NBCC, is categorized as Non-Combustible Construction.

On multistorey applications, when applying combustilbe components in a non-combustible construction building, CAN/ULC-S-134 is required to certify the material. In Ontario, the limiting height for the application combustible materials in non-combustible construction is 6 storeys (if sprinklered throughout)

[r3]CAN/ULC-S134, "Fire Tests of Exterior Wall Assemblies" ensures that the flaming on or in the wall assembly shall not spread more than 5 metres above the opening and/or the heat flux during the flame exposure on the wall assembly shall not be more than 35 kW / sq. m.

[r4]5 year warranty are typically associated with anodized finish. 10 years

[r5]A 9mm reveal is recommended for horizontal applications to allow water to shed from the exterior face

[r6]Fluted Profile is only available in 42" coverage
