Our idea of extreme performance.
Rovex™ Xtreme Fiberglass is an advanced material technology that sets a new standard for performance applications.
Noncorrosive. Light weight. Strong. Energy efficient.
No other material technology in the market has this unique set of physical and performance characteristics. Its unique combination of attributes and properties redefines how a lineal profile performs.
For larger openings, indoor/outdoor living spaces and floor to ceiling doors using Rovex means no more trade-off between thermal performance and structural strength.
