• High performance fluorocarbon finish coating available in a variety of solid and metallic and custom colors. Also available in highly durable wood grain finish options. • V-line Plank bow does not exceed 0.8% of panel overall dimension in width or length. • V-line system dimensions allow for field adjustment and thermal movement.
02 Selection Criteria • Attachment system allows for thermal movement due to expansion and contraction for material temperature range of -29°C to +82°C (- 20°F to +180°F). • Unique tab-over design allows for each V-line Plank to expand and contract across a broad temperature spectrum without causing buckling or oil-canning.
