Gates are essential for keeping your home safe and secure. A gate closes the opening in your wall or fence, controlling who can get in and out of your space. For total security, for instance, if you want to keep assassins, or worse, your mother-in-law out of your home, there’s nothing like the strength of a steel gate. However, aluminium gates definitely have their own advantages:
Steel isn’t always stainless. It rusts over time, which means ongoing maintenance, which, in turn, means less money for you to buy beers. Now that’s not a situation anyone wants. As aluminium contains no iron, it’s naturally resistant to corrosion. It’s also covered in a thin layer of aluminium oxide, which, once wet, forms a protective natural barrier against oxygen’s destructive effects. This means that if you live anywhere near the sea – so, basically, if you live in New Zealand – your gate will remain looking great for years to come, despite the salt air and water.
Got a secure or automated gate? Aluminium is a great choice of material. If you have a motorised gate, the motor is required to slide, swing, or even lift your gate open and shut every time something or someone passes through it. This can put a lot of pressure on the machinery over time. Because aluminium is so much lighter than steel, an aluminium gate will mean less work for your motor. That, in turn, will put less wear and tear on your equipment.
The corrosion-resistant properties of aluminium means that these gates don’t need painting during their lifetime. However, here at CJ Gates, we do offer powder coating and painted finishes for our aluminium gates. Powder bonds especially well to aluminium, which can give you a long-lasting, durable finish that looks much nicer than steel. Powder coats are also available in a wide range of colours. Perfect if you want a neon green gate. Well. Maybe not neon green. But we’re sure Dulux is working on it.
