Unprecedented Protection®

Protected by Luxacote®

Luxacote® is a special treatment for Luxalon® Exterior
Ceilings. Proprietary Hunter Douglas’ Luxacote®
makes exterior ceilings extremely durable, providing
colour and gloss stability, high scratch resistance,and resistance to corrosion. With Luxacote®, there isno need to recoat, which reduces maintenance costs
and additional environmental impact.

2LUXACOTE
for exterior application

Luxacote® protects the aluminium surface fromcorrosion and permanently anchors the paintto the metal surface. It contains highly colourstable pigments for optimal colour-fastness anda highly scratch- and wear-resistant surface.
Luxacote® also filters UV-light to provide extra
colour and gloss durability.

Secured byLuxalon Profix™
®

Luxalon® ProFix™ is a suspension system made by
Hunter Douglas expressly for Luxalon® Exterior
Ceiling applications. A cost- and time-saving tool, thesystem simplifies installation and provides safety andreliability, even when faced with strong wind loads.
With the same wind loads, fewer Luxalon® ProFix™
hangers are required to create the same level ofdurability as a standard suspension system.

Made with thestrongest base material
It takes more than a good pre-treatment and stablecolour coating to produce a product that holds up tothe outdoors. For optimal durability, Luxalon® Exterior
Ceilings are made with a highly corrosion-resistantaluminium alloy: EN AW 3005. Hunter Douglas hascompletely integrated the application of Luxacote®
into the production process. The result: extremely
durable products with slightly textured surfaces thatmanage potentially damaging outdoor conditions.

partners. Our calculation tools help to make thedesigns of exterior ceilings durable and windproof,
even in the case of strong wind loads.

Model for wind loads
To improve service, Hunter Douglas asked a leading
independent testing and research institute (TNO, theNetherlands) to develop a dedicated model for windload calculations. With this model it is possible tocalculate wind loads in relation to location, height andclimate zone all over the world.
The results of wind load calculations make it easy touse our span tables, which are available for all typesof Hunter Douglas ceiling panels and carriers. Thesetables support the engineer in developing the optimaland most economical hanging construction for thedesigned exterior ceiling.
