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 Town of Richmond Hill and the Province of Ontario. Rules change, so confirm with the Town before you order.
Fence By-law 140-90 (Chapter 973 of the Town’s Municipal Code) says no fence on residential property may exceed 1.8 m (5.9 ft) in any yard, and a fence in a front yard may not exceed 1.2 m (4.0 ft). Corner lots have their own rules in the by-law, so ask the Town about yours.

The by-law bars any fence, privacy screen, ornamental gateway or entranceway from a daylighting triangle with minimum dimensions of 4.5 m x 4.5 m (14.76 ft x 14.76 ft). A fence that is not on public land may be permitted inside the triangle if it does not exceed 0.6 m (1.96 ft). Check your lot against this rule before you order.

The by-law says the structural supports of any fence must be driven into the ground or embedded in concrete deep enough to prevent upheaval by frost: below the frost line or at least 1.2 m (3.9 ft), whichever is greater. The PDF carries revision stamps from 1994 to 2010 and cites amendments up to 2019, so confirm the current wording with the Town’s By-law and Licensing Enforcement section.

The provincial climatic data table lists Richmond Hill at 230 m above sea level, against 90 m for Toronto City Hall. It gives a January design temperature of -21 °C at 2.5% (-23 °C at 1%), 4,000 degree days below 18 °C and a ground snow load of 1.5 kPa, against -18 °C, 3,520 degree days and 0.9 kPa for Toronto City Hall. Aluminum does not absorb moisture, so freeze-thaw cycles do not crack or warp it.
The showroom is 52.0 km from the Richmond Hill municipal offices (225 East Beaver Creek Road) by road, about 43 minutes without traffic by a routing model estimate. Orders are picked up at the Mississauga showroom or shipped. Delivery options, dates and fees are confirmed by our sales team.

Fence By-law 140-90 limits a fence on residential property to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) in any yard, and to 1.2 m (4.0 ft) in a front yard. Corner lots have extra rules, including a 4.5 m x 4.5 m (14.76 ft x 14.76 ft) daylighting triangle. The by-law PDF carries stamps from 1994 to 2010 and amendments cited up to 2019, so confirm the current wording with the Town.
We could not verify whether a standard fence needs a building permit: the Town’s fence page names only the Pool Enclosure Permit. A pool enclosure needs a permit from the Chief Building Official, and the by-law sets the height of a single residential pool enclosure between 1.2 m (3.9 ft) and 1.8 m, adding that metal picket fences need not exceed 1.6 m (4.9 ft). Ask the Town before you order. PrimeAlux does not install fences.
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.
