Fantastic results that are long-lasting, installing aluminum fencing is for your property.
Adding an aluminum fence to your property is a great way to add functional value to your home. Aluminum fences, often neglected in favor of fancier materials, offer tons of benefits that make it an incredibly valuable and long-lasting option. When it comes to long-lasting, aluminum is the way to go. Today we’ll be walking you through some of the factors that make aluminum fencing one of the best choices for your home.
Comparing The Materials
Each fencing material has its list of pros and cons, as fencing specialists at Hercules Iron are well aware. That said, aluminum is one material with benefits that far outweigh its drawbacks. Wood, for instance, needs frequent maintenance to prevent issues like rot and damage. Likewise, most wrought iron and metal fencing will need care to avoid rust and degradation. Even vinyl fencing, heralded as being maintenance-free, can be affected by temperatures over time as it shrinks and expands, causing deterioration. You might be surprised to learn that unlike all of these other materials, aluminum suffers none of the same risks for degradation or decay. Aluminum fencing does not rust or rot, and it is safe from the problems associated with temperature changes. This advantage makes it a material that’s particularly well suited for a varied climate like you find in the DMV area.
Timeless Appearance
Custom crafted aluminum fencing go wonderfully with various building styles and landscapes. Aluminum fences, and rails, can replicate the look of more intricate and ornamental designs. Many believe detailed and elegant fencing is only available when using ornamental wrought iron. That’s truly not the case! For more eclectic finishes and style, aluminum fencing comes powder coated in non-traditional colors like bronze or hunter green.
Few Maintenance Issues
As we mentioned before, aluminum is incredibly low maintenance. Not only is this an advantage for property owners with little time and energy, but it also means that an aluminum fence naturally can last much longer. When you shirk your maintenance duties for other traditional fencing materials, you risk allowing damage and decay; with aluminum, there’s no such risk. Many people forget that maintenance needs are much of what determines a fence’s lifespan — which gives aluminum an incredible advantage.
