Abstract: The present invention is directed to an extrusion-coated article comprising: a substrate with a coating material extrusion coated onto at least a portion of the substrate, and at least one profile extruded end-cap coupled with an end of the substrate, with a cross-section of the end-cap comprising an end-cap profile. The end of the substrate includes a recess extending inwardly from an outer surface of the end of the substrate, such that a cross-section of the end of the substrate comprises a substrate end profile. The end-cap profile substantially corresponds with the substrate end profile, such that at least a portion of the end-cap is configured to be received within the recess for coupling the end-cap with the end of the substrate.
