Panels that do not rust or rot, shipped from Mississauga to Calgary
PrimeAlux ships aluminum fence panels to Calgary from one showroom in Mississauga, 3,387.7 km away by road on a routing model. This page covers the fence heights in the City’s Land Use Bylaw, chinook and freeze-thaw figures, and how ordering works. We have no Calgary branch or install crew.

Aluminum does not absorb moisture, so freeze-thaw cycles do not crack or warp it. There is no wood to rot and no steel to rust.
Slats need only an occasional rinse to stay clean. The PrimeAlux limited warranty asks for documented cleaning twice per year, following the PrimeAlux cleaning instructions.
Panels carry a UV-resistant 3-layer and powder coating, so there is nothing to paint or stain.
PrimeAlux panels contain up to 70% recycled aluminum content.
These points come from the City of Calgary and Environment and Climate Change Canada. The City’s web copy of the Land Use Bylaw is not an official interpretation, so confirm with the City before you order.
Calgary’s Land Use Bylaw 1P2007 allows a fence up to 1.2 m high in the front portion of a lot, which runs from the foremost front facade of the main residential building to the front property line. In all other cases the limit is 2.0 m. A gate may reach 2.5 m at its highest point if it is not more than 2.5 m long. Height is measured above grade at any point along the fence line.
The City says that in most situations a fence does not need a building permit. A fence that does not meet the Land Use Bylaw needs planning approval, which is a development permit. The City lists the usual triggers as a rear yard fence over 2 m (6 ft 6 in), a front yard fence over 1.2 m (4 ft), a fence inside a corner visibility triangle over 0.75 m (2 ft 6 in), and a gate over 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in). New fences may not extend onto City of Calgary property. Ask the City for the triangle’s dimensions on your corner lot.

The City’s Climate Projections for Calgary report (January 2024) calls chinooks a significant driver of the city’s winter freeze-thaw cycles, which it defines as air temperature fluctuating between freezing and non-freezing temperatures. Its modelled average is 43.5 cycles in winter (December to February) and 107.4 a year. Those figures cover the 1981-2010 baseline period and are modelled, so they are not directly comparable with the 1991-2020 climate normals below. Aluminum does not absorb moisture, so freeze-thaw cycles do not crack or warp it.

At Calgary Int’l A (ECCC climate ID 3031093), the 1991-2020 normals show a January mean daily temperature of -7.6 °C, against -5.0 °C at Toronto Pearson. Calgary has 192.7 days a year with a daily minimum at or below 0 °C, against 130.6 at Pearson, and 21.6 days with a daily minimum below -20 °C, against 2.7. Annual snowfall is 138.7 cm against 114.5 cm, yet January snowfall is lower in Calgary, at 16.6 cm against 31.5 cm.

The City’s 2022 suburban growth report names communities in north, northeast and southeast Calgary. Nolan Hill and Evanston in the north were close to full build-out, Livingston and Carrington were still developing, and Glacier Ridge was in its early stages. Mahogany and Seton in the southeast, and Cornerstone in the northeast, are on the report’s lists of new communities. The status labels date from 2022, so check the City’s new community page for the current picture.

PrimeAlux supplies Calgary and the rest of Canada from one showroom in Mississauga. See the full list of cities we supply.
Calgary’s Land Use Bylaw sets 1.2 m for the front portion of a lot and 2.0 m everywhere else, with gates up to 2.5 m at their highest point when the gate is not more than 2.5 m long. Inside a corner visibility triangle the City typically requires a permit above 0.75 m. Confirm your lot with the City before you order.
The City of Calgary’s Winter City Strategy, published in 2022, says chinooks bring dramatic temperature swings and 20 to 30 spring-like days each season. Environment and Climate Change Canada’s normals do not include a freeze-thaw cycle count, so none is quoted from them. The City’s modelled freeze-thaw figures appear earlier on this page.
Slats need only an occasional rinse to stay clean. There is no painting, staining or sanding. The warranty does ask for documented cleaning twice per year, following the PrimeAlux cleaning instructions.
The PrimeAlux limited warranty lists 20 years for aluminum metal, 15 years for coated aluminum fence and 10 years for powder coated aluminum extrusion profile, and requires the fence system to be cleaned twice per year following PrimeAlux cleaning instructions. Our warranty and care guide explains what the documents say.
Each test report names what was tested, and the results apply to those specimens only. The ASTM E84 fire report covers the PrimeAlux Privacy Slat fence system: flame spread index 0 and smoke developed index 50. The ASTM E90 acoustic report covers the PrimeAlux Horizontal Privacy Plus 6'W x 6'H: STC 22 and OITC 19.
PrimeAlux was established in 2019 and serves all of Canada and the US. Delivery options, dates and fees are confirmed by our sales team. The showroom is at 2222 South Sheridan Way, Unit 116, Mississauga, ON, open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM.
