The surface of aluminum alloy is polished and polished by oxidation. The window sash frame is large and can be inlaid with a large area of glass, so that the indoor light is bright enough, and the contrast between the interior and the exterior of the facade is enhanced, and the living room is more rich. Aluminum alloy itself is easy to extrusion, the cross-section of the profile size is accurate, the machining accuracy is high, so in the decoration, many owners choose to adopt aluminum alloy doors and windows.

Always select ones made from material grade that is compatible with most of your project requirements.

Another place that is tough to tell the quality of the hardware online is those decorative tips on top of the picket called finials.  Many places charge a hefty upgrade fee per panel to add finials to the fence panel.  The worst part is these are often cheap die-cast, aluminum or plastic that ship loose and you have to glue or press them on.  The difference between the fence panel material and finial material will be come apparent over time when the dissimilar metal coatings (or materials like plastic) fade at a different rate and really start to look like a cheap add-on.  Be sure to check what those finial tips are made from and how they are attached.  Our Stronghold Iron uses solid cast-iron finial tips that are welded directly to the picket like the image below.

While ornamental cast iron panels are known for their durability, regular maintenance is essential to keep them looking their best. Over time, exposure to the elements can lead to corrosion or rust. To prevent this, it is advisable to apply a protective coating periodically. Cleaning the panels gently with mild soap and water will also help preserve their finish and vibrancy.

5. Check for Level Use a level to ensure that the door is aligned correctly. An unlevel door can cause excessive wear on the rollers and the track, leading to future misalignments. If necessary, make further adjustments to ensure the door is perfectly level.

2. Resistance to Corrosion Unlike steel or wood, aluminum has excellent resistance to corrosion. This property ensures that glazing beads remain intact and functional even in harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain or humidity. The longevity of these beads translates to better performance and lower maintenance costs for homeowners and building managers.

Ornamental iron fences, also known as wrought iron fences, are manufactured three distinctive ways. Hand-forged, cast iron and aluminum extrusion.
