Install details

Clean trim transitions, proper flashing and substrate prep make metal accents look truly premium (and stay watertight).

Maintenance

Panels are extremely durable, just rinse occasionally; avoid harsh abrasives.

We wanted the warmth of wood without the maintenance headaches. JExteriors recommended Lux architectural panels and the result is stunning, the feature frame ties the whole facade together. The install was quick, clean and the crew walked us through care and warranty. After the last hailstorm our panels still look brand new. Couldn’t be happier with the upgrade.
