There are many different types of gates, including wooden and iron, but aluminium is one of the most popular options. Its strength, durability and maintenance-free properties make it the perfect material for your gate project.
Aluminium Sliding Gates are a modern and stylish option for your property’s entrance driveway, with lots of benefits to offer in terms of security, aesthetics and functionality. As well as being a great choice for your new driveway gate, they are also highly suited to automating your home’s front gate, making them an excellent investment for both commercial and residential properties alike.
These gates are made from high-quality aluminium and have a rust-resistant finish, making them an ideal choice for your property’s exterior design. Whether you choose to install them for automation or as a manual gate, they are guaranteed to look good for years to come and will help your property stand out from the rest of the neighbourhood.
Despite their lightweight nature, aluminium gates are still extremely strong and can take up to 2.5 times more force than steel and iron. This makes them an ideal solution for any type of drive way gate and means that you can have a safe and secure entrance to your property without breaking the bank.
They’re also very easy to maintain as they’re powder-coated so they won’t need re-staining or repainting like you would with wood and iron. Plus, they’re super-durable and can hold up in even the harshest of weather conditions.
This is especially helpful if you live in a climate where cold weather can be severe. Wooden gates can become brittle in freezing temperatures and could potentially collapse if they aren’t properly maintained.
The same goes for iron gates – they can suffer from corrosion. This is because bare iron will form an oxide layer that can protect it from the elements, but this can eventually wear down.
That’s why we recommend having your aluminium gate powder-coated, which helps to prevent this problem and keep it looking new for years to come. The process is relatively simple and involves charging the metal with an electric current. The powder coating forms a protective covering that’s resistant to oxidisation and is therefore far more likely to retain its appearance than bare iron.
There are a number of different styles to choose from and we can help you find the right gate for your property. Choose from fully enclosed gates with solid cladding, beautiful louvre style gates and even frame only options for those looking to add extra privacy to their front garden. We can even build custom-made, bespoke gate designs for your specific requirements.
