When selecting fencing material, builders and homeowners have many options. Aluminum gates & fences offer many advantages over more traditional products, and this strong material can be configured to match most exterior settings.
1. Maintenance
When it comes to maintenance, aluminum structures are some of the simplest. The metal is resistant to corrosion, and many manufacturers cover the aluminum with a powder coat, which protects the metal further from the water and sun. Because it is rot-resistant, owners do not have to treat the fence for bugs or termites.
2. Versatile
Manufacturers can form this solid and light metal into various shapes. Contractors can build an aluminum fence that looks like a picket fence. For a more modern appearance, designers can in-lay glass panels. The material can also resemble wrought iron, and because it is malleable, the frames can be sculpted to sit on steep hillsides or rolling mounds.
3. Recyclable
If you are looking for eco-friendly building material, aluminum fits the bill because it is recyclable. Once reconfigured, it does not lose its original qualities. Because you do not have to paint the fence, you will use fewer chemicals and reduce your VOC impact.
4. Strong and Light
A heavy gate can droop and pull on the fence over time. Aluminum gates are strong, durable, and lightweight, so they will not put continuous stress on the overall structure. A sagging gate becomes difficult to open and shut, and it can require regular maintenance, whereas aluminum ones are virtually maintenance-free once installed.
