Compared to other fencing materials, aluminum offers a range of visual and functional advantages. If you’re unsure what type of fence you’d like to install on your property, you can always call Leading Edge Fence & Gates to speak with an expert who can provide advice based on your budget and needs. However, the following sections will cover some primary reasons we see clients choose aluminum fences.
mpressive Strength
Metal fencing offers the highest level of protection against impact and weather. While wood or vinyl fences can provide pleasant visual effects and enhance safety, the strength of these materials does not measure up to metal options. In addition, while non-metal fences can effectively keep animals or passers-by off your property, they can struggle to absorb impacts. Conversely, metal fences are highly resistant to this type of damage. This quality makes them highly resistant to wind damage and better equipped to absorb the impact of a vehicle or other large object. Therefore, an aluminum fence is always an excellent option if safety is the primary concern.
Weather-Resistant
Weather takes a toll on everything on your property, but aluminum is uniquely resistant to this type of wear. Aluminum is a strong material, so, like other metals, it is extremely good at resisting wind and impact over time. However, many metals quickly rust when exposed to the elements, making them less than viable as fencing materials despite their strength.
Fortunately, aluminum fence panels are incredibly rust-resistant, especially when a fence installation company coats them with weather-resistant paint. Overall, aluminum fences offer impressive durability with nearly no required maintenance. However, even the most durable materials can fail when improperly installed, so choosing a reliable aluminum fence company is crucial.
Aesthetic Appeal
One thing that truly sets aluminum fencing panels apart from other fencing materials is the look they can create. Aluminum fence installers can tailor the fence to fit your property perfectly, giving an impressive custom-made effect. While other fence materials can provide a clean look, nothing quite compares to the bespoke appearance of a custom aluminum fence. Additionally, many colors and styles are available, allowing homeowners to customize every aspect of their fence. At Leading Edge Fence & Gates, we can accomplish a wide range of different looks by using different types of posts and bars. Depending on your desired design, an aluminum fence can be minimalist and discreet or grand and rustic. The color you choose can also significantly impact the fence’s final look. While planning your aluminum fence installation, consider how different color options will pair with your home. For example, black or gray fences can provide a sense of greater security, while white fences offer a homier feel.
Affordable
While metals like iron or steel can be expensive and raise the cost of an entire project, the affordability of aluminum keeps aluminum fence costs low. Additionally, the durability and resilience of the material mean that homeowners will save money on maintenance as well. When you choose Leading Edge Fence & Gates for your aluminum fence installation, you’ll receive a free consultation and be able to consider the costs before making a decision.
