Aluminum fence - durable, aesthetic, without special maintenance

Aluminum fencing may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we think of a fencing system, but the benefits it brings make it one of the better choices. Aluminum has many more favorable properties than steel, wood and artificial materials.

Durability, appearance and easy installation

Among the main advantages of this light and versatile material is its durability, i.e. its extremely long service life without special maintenance. Aluminum treated with an anodizing or painting process is resistant to weather and other environmental factors. Unlike ordinary steel, it does not need to be painted every few years and does not rust.

Aluminum or stainless steel?

But how does it compare to stainless steel? The latter is a common choice for fences because it does not rust and does not require painting. However, its disadvantages, such as weight, the impossibility of choosing different colors and the high price, should not be ignored.

Aluminum balcony railings prove to be more flexible here. By painting in one of the colors according to the RAL scale, we can achieve perfect color harmony with the other elements of the building, such as facade elements, windows, gutters, sheet metal borders and the like.

Due to their low weight, they can be installed even where a greater static load was not originally foreseen, i.e. they do not require additional reinforcements or particularly strong anchoring.

An aluminum fence does not require special maintenance

Aluminum fences save users time and maintenance costs. A protective coating should be applied to wood and (ordinary) steel every few years, while an aluminum fence should only be cleaned occasionally with a wet cloth or a high-pressure cleaner.

Together with a long service life, which is measured in several decades, this means long-term savings.

A natural material that can be recycled

Unlike fences made of synthetic materials, aluminum is a natural material and at the same time one of the few that can be completely recycled. An aluminum fence is therefore also a sustainable, green choice, which is extremely important information in these times.

A timelessly elegant look

Modern architecture favors simple lines and timeless elegance, representing a style where the functional and aesthetic advantages of aluminum once again prove themselves. The latter is thus considered a sophisticated choice , which perfectly matches the architectural trends of modern times.

The price of an aluminum fence

If we take into account the already mentioned durability or long life and the fact that aluminum does not require maintenance, an aluminum fence - despite a slightly higher initial investment - is a cost-effective choice in the long run, comparable to a stainless steel fence.

The price, which is usually determined per meter of the fence, is affected by the amount of material, shape, type of finish and any special requirements. For an informative offer and the price of an aluminum fence, call us on the toll-free number +386 2 788 01 70 or write to info@meltal.si .
