Elongated element with embedded reinforcement

Abstract

An elongated element can include a first flange and a second flange, where the first flange is joined to the second flange at an apex, and a reinforcement element can be embedded within the elongated element, where the reinforcement element is made from a first material and the elongated element is made from a second material, wherein the first material is different than the second material. A method can include extruding a reinforcement element from a first material, feeding the reinforcement element to an extruder, extruding a body of an elongated element from a second material, where the body comprises a first flange, a second flange, and a first apex, where the first flange is joined to the second flange at the first apex, and where the first material is different than the second material, and embedding the reinforcement element into the body.
