Steel vs. Aluminium Fencing - Which One Is Better For You
by Chris D. Fencing Contractor & Repair ExpertsAmong the different types of fencing materials available in the market of Australia, most people generally go for either of these two options - steel and aluminium. However, the former option appears to be more in demand than the latter, especially those manufactured by Colorbond. But it does not mean that aluminium fencing is not good at ensuring security and privacy of a property. If you are planning to set up a perimeter around your residential or commercial property, have a look at the benefits of both options for fencing stated below:
Steel -
Steel fences, particularly the ones made by Colorbond, are durable as well as tough. Their sturdiness and high resistance to impact make them ideal for construction of extremely secure barriers. They can easily withstand the minor incursions from debris or branches, rain and strong winds. During the manufacturing process and prior to being made ready, they are galvanised as well. Besides that, they are also available in a wide range of designs and colours, which can be chosen for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of a property.
Due to being extremely long-lasting, steel fences and gates in Perth require very little maintenance. They retain their lustre for as long as their guaranteed life span, thus bringing down the costs of capital improvement and repainting. They are effective deterrents of criminals as well, because they are solid enough to be virtually unbreakable. To top it all off, they are highly resistant to corrosion and rotting.
Aluminium -
Just like steel, aluminium fences are also durable and corrosion-resistant. They are also applied with a special type of coating for improved toughness and quality. However, they are not as sturdy as their steel counterparts and can be easily bent using suitable equipment, which makes them an ineffective option when it comes to deterring thieves. That is why they are preferred more for various beautification aspects such as fencing of swimming pools or gardens. Due to their anti-corrosion characteristic, they are ideal to be used for homes constructed in close proximity to water bodies.
As is evident from the above mentioned information, both steel and aluminium are durable and can provide a good return on investment. However, the former is more suited for safeguarding assets whereas the latter option can be used for imparting a stunning look to the landscape of a property. Therefore, the option you choose will depend entirely on your requirements and preferences.
