About Rollex
|

|
|
Quality
from day one. |
Rollex
came on the scene in the early 1950's - as a manufacturer and distributor
of aluminum and metal moldings for the kitchen, bath and siding industries.
The original team was just 13 people. Turned out a lucky number.

We
'roll' it and we 'ex' it. |
The company's
core expertise was roll forming and extruding metals. Put them together
and you get the name "Rollex". (We spell it with two "l" and, no, we don't
make timepieces.)

The
boom in the 'burbs'. |
People
were on the move in late 50s. Subdivisions springing up everywhere. A type
of home called a "ranch house" became as popular as the barbecue grill.
That's when a lot of homeowners discovered the advantages of siding products.

Pre-finished
soffit system. From Rollex. |
In 1959,
Rollex introduced the first modular pre-finished soffit system. The Rollex
"V-Alum" system was protected with vinyl paint and beveled at the edges.
It accommodated a variety of sizes of overhangs.

|
No
on-site cutting. |
Rollex
followed with another innovation - the Mark II System. It's a pre-cut soffit
panel that's perfect for new construction work. It fits any soffit opening
without job-site cutting. Fast, simple, wam, bam. Mark II is still a member
of the Rollex family of products.

Choice
and flexibility. |
Remodeling
an exterior demands flexibility - no two jobs are the same. That's why Rollex
created the Rollex System 3 Soffit in 1969. Its panels are designed to fit
various soffit depths or openings. Today, the System 3 Soffit is a big player
in new construction too. That's no surprise when you consider it's available
in solid and vented panels, and in 24 handsome colors. System 3 is Rollex's
best selling soffit system, proudly standing guard over millions of homes.

Rollex
means soffit and siding. |
In the
'80s, Rollex extended its expertise into siding. Its highly successful aluminum
line was soon followed with steel. Today, no one offers a more attractive
selection in pre-finished soffit, siding and accessories.
