OWN YOUR COLOUR.Renolit Colour Offering for Apex 9100 Series
Bold. Strong. Lasting. Colour.
RENOLIT EXOFOL FX
New to Canada, but proven in Europe with more than 35 years of practical use in a variety of climates, Renolit EXOFOL FX is a new option for applying colour to the exterior of PVC window frames that is bold, durable and long-lasting.
EXOFOL FX is a high-performance acrylic-based exterior film that is permanently bonded to the exterior PVC window frame. The film is weather- and UV-resistant and retains its finish and colour throughout its service life.
The film also features a contemporary stipple emboss finish that pairs well with modern home exteriors. Its low surface tension means that it can be wiped clean easily and it also resists chalking, cracking and fading—EXOFOL FX’s durability is greatly superior to basic paint-covered window frames and is backed by a 10-year warranty. It is stable in seaside applications and is not harmed by salt air.
Currently available in five of our highly-requested colours suitable for a variety of architectural styles, Renolit EXOFOL FX is the superior choice for adding colour to PVC windows and curb appeal to new homes.
You already know that All Weather Windows PVC windows are
known for their innovative designs and unique features. And
that PVC windows have excellent insulating qualities and resist
moisture and corrosion. They’re also affordable with a
maintenance-free frame and have a long life span.
But options for adding colour to PVC window frames have been
mostly limited to paint and metal cladding. Paint is less than
ideal, since it requires additional maintenance and simply
doesn’t last. Metal cladding is durable and attractive but comes
with additional costs.
One great alternative that keeps costs manageable while
maintaining window durability is lamination. The lamination of a
durable film to PVC has been around for more than 35 years in
Europe and All Weather Windows is proud to introduce this
process to our customers in the Canadian marketplace.
Our Apex 9100 series of windows now comes with the Renolit
EXOFOL FX colour option, boosting a home’s curb appeal while
enhancing durability. We’ve also added our fixed window style to
the 9100 series just for EXOFOL FX, ensuring a seamless look
when paired with our casement or awning styles.

TECHNICAL DETAILS
Renolit EXOFOL FX has a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
and polyvinylidene fluoride film (PVDF) multi-layer construction.
The protective surface is made up of a combination of transparent
PVDF as the top layer, followed by the transparent PMMA middle
layer. The base layer is a pigmented acrylic base film that
includes infrared reflective pigments for Solar Shield Technology,
which reflects heat away from the window. This unique
combination of polymers provides reduced heat absorption,
improved UV resistance and excellent long term weathering.
The combination of these layers and their unique qualities gives
Renolit EXOFOL FX its extreme durability and resistance to
weather, along with excellent colour fastness and gloss retention.
And EXOFOL FX contains no PVC, making it both unique and much
more resilient compared to other exterior PVC-based films.
10-YEAR WARRANTY
Performance: fading or other performance-related issues that
may occur with the Renolit film are covered under warranty for
repair or a complete replacement of the window.
Lamination: the lamination process for the Renolit EXOFOL FX
film is warrantied for 10 years through All Weather Windows.
Window: All Weather Windows’ Apex 9100 series windows are
covered under a 10-year warranty, which includes peeling,
bubbling, cracking, flaking, or chipping of paint on PVC windows.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS
The Renolit EXOFOL FX, once applied, bonds to the window
profile with an immense strength that is fostered through our
polyurethane reactive (PUR) hotmelt process. The PUR reacts
chemically when exposed to atmospheric moisture at the time
of lamination, creating a cross link between profile and film
that results in a strong, durable bond. This bond cannot be
reactivated and will withstand the harshest conditions, from
extreme heat to extreme cold.
THE PROCESS
• The PVC profile is passed through air blowers to remove debris
and any static charges.
• The primer is applied and heated to 50˚C—this ensures that
the PVC permanently bonds to the film.
• Glue is applied to the film before passing the profile and film
through the machine, which uses rubber rollers to make the
PVC and film look like a single component.
Renolit EXOFOL FX has gone through more than 12 years of real
weather testing at independent and professional test facilities in
many world climates, including Arizona, Florida, Germany and the
South of France. It has also gone through many thousands of
hours of accelerated weather testing. Renolit EXOFOL FX has
stood up to each climate and all forms of testing with proven
strength and excellent weather resistance.
