Roll Formed Aluminum:
- Finish: Our roll formed aluminum products boast a charming wood grain finish, adding a natural and timeless appeal to any outdoor space.
- Surface Protection: Featuring our exclusive DuraTough Coating™, our roll formed aluminum products are engineered for durability, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. This protective coating not only ensures longevity but also simplifies maintenance with its resistance to dirt and stains.
- Engineering Standards: Our roll formed aluminum designs are meticulously engineered to meet or exceed all relevant building codes, including stringent requirements for wind resistance and seismic activity.
- Warranty: Backed by our industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, our roll formed aluminum products provide peace of mind, guaranteeing their quality and reliability for years to come.
Extruded Aluminum:
- Finish: With a sleek and smooth finish, our extruded aluminum products offer a contemporary aesthetic, ideal for modern architectural designs.
- Versatility: Designed with versatility in mind, our extruded aluminum products can be customized to fulfill various outdoor needs, including pergolas, cantilevers, trellises, fencing, and more.
- Material and Construction: Crafted from high-quality extruded 6061-T6 aircraft alloy aluminum, our extruded products ensure lightweight yet robust construction, free from steel inserts. This results in durable structures capable of withstanding diverse environmental conditions.
- Powder Coating: Our extruded aluminum products undergo a premium powder coating process, meeting AAMA 2604 standards. This ensures a resilient finish that resists fading, chipping, and corrosion over time.
- Cantilever Design: Our extruded aluminum cantilever products offer a distinctive design featuring beams supported on only one side, providing unobstructed views of the surrounding environment. These structures offer ample shade and weather protection with enhanced cooling properties and long-lasting durability.
