Thus, aluminum profiles for windows and doors with anodized finish are resistant to corrosion since the layer prevents it from occurring.
Additionally, aluminium profiles can be designed to accommodate multiple locking points, further enhancing security. These profiles can also be integrated with advanced locking systems and access control technologies, making them suitable for commercial applications.
Post caps are another place where cost cuts can be made. Lots of manufacturers will use a stamped steel standard cap which is easier to produce and squish on the top of the post. For the more decorative ball style post caps, some will make them out of aluminum, or worse, plastic. Our Stronghold Iron fence line uses cast iron caps for both styles that you can see in the photos below. The cast iron gives it a nice textured and authentic appearance.
