Why aluminium?

More and more property developers, landscapers and homeowners are turning towards aluminium as a viable material. The benefits to aluminium as a material are multiple;

Property	Aluminium	Steel / Stainless Steel (SS)	Composites / Plastics
Weight	Lightweight – easy to handle, cut and install.	Heavy – more requires more labour and more difficult to cut.	Lightweight – easy to handle, cut and install.
Durability	Long-lasting – high corrosion resistance. Low maintenance.	Durable – when coated correctly has good corrosion resistance. 316 grade SS also has great corrosion resistance.	Modest durability – susceptible to rot and water damage if uncapped.
Workability	Easy – simple to cut, drill, glue and handle.	Moderate – harder to cut and drill, weldable, but heavy and requires substantial coating (if not SS).	Moderate – easy to cut, drill and handle, but susceptible to splitting/splintering.
Reliability	Very reliable – resistant to high heats, structurally robust, very low expansion and warping.	Reliable – less resistant to heat that aluminium, structurally sound. Won’t warp.	OK reliability – more susceptible to heat and water (especially if uncapped). Larger expansion potential.
Sustainability	Good sustainability credentials – uses recycled materials and 100% recyclable.	OK sustainability – more energy intensive to recycle and produce.	OK sustainability credentials – often made from majority recycled materials. Can be recycled, but is challenging.
Affordability	Relatively low cost.	Higher costs – stainless steel more so than mild steel.	Lower cost.
