Acrylic Wrap Brochure

Forget about the old standard in home design. New home builds have beautiful touches that add character and individuality, and the interiors are just as carefully styled. There’s a demand for homes with curated style, character and colour—both inside and out.

PVC windows—particularly with colour—have traditionally been limited.

Painting is always an option, though it lacks permanence. And exterior aluminum cladding is beautiful, but can’t be applied to the interior of the frame.

All Weather Windows’ PVC windows are already known for their innovative designs and unique features. But options for customizing

Now there’s another way to customize windows on the inside and out.

Transparent polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) top layer

Transparent PMMA upper film • Weather-resistant • Protection against UV irradiation

• 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 acrylic wrap.

• Glue is applied to the acrylic wrap before passing the profile and wrap through the machine, which uses rubber rollers to make the PVC and acrylic wrap look like a single component.

The wrap, once applied, bonds to the window profile with an immense strength that is fostered through our polyurethane reactive (PUR) hot melt process. The PUR reacts chemically when exposed to atmospheric moisture at the time of lamination, creating a cross link between profile and wrap that results in a strong, durable bond. This bond cannot be reactivated and will withstand the harshest conditions, from extreme heat to extreme cold.

ACRYLIC WRAP L A S TI N G P OW E R

S T Y LE M E E T S S C I E N C E

Acrylic wrap is a high-performance acrylic-based product that is permanently bonded to the PVC window frame. Once only available as an exterior application, the wrap now provides homebuilders and homeowners with the ability to have different finishes on the inside and outside of their window frames. It is weather- and ultravioletresistant and retains its finish and colour throughout its service life.

Our acrylic wrap has a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyvinyl 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 wrap also features a contemporary stipple emboss finish that pairs well with modern home exteriors and interiors. Its low surface tension means that it can be wiped clean easily and it also resists chalking, cracking and fading—its durability is greatly superior to basic paint-covered window frames, and is backed by a 10-year warranty.* Acrylic wrap is currently available in a series of finishes suitable for a variety of architectural and interior design styles. Acrylic wrap is the superior choice for adding colour to PVC windows and curb appeal to new homes.

Colours may not be exactly as shown due to printing limitations.

C A R E & M A I NTE N A N C E Everyday cleaning can be done with a household cleaner or with a commercial cleaner like TSP, when required. For more information on cleaning, staining and painting, please visit allweatherwindows.com.

The combination of these layers and their unique qualities gives acrylic wrap its extreme durability and resistance to weather, along with excellent colour fastness and gloss retention.

WA R R A NT Y Performance: fading or other performance-related issues that may occur with acrylic wrap are covered under warranty for repair or a complete replacement of the window.

Lamination: the lamination process of acrylic wrap is warrantied for 10 years through All Weather Windows.* *Chocolate Brown and Stainable Fir are backed by a 5-year warranty.
