Is Aluminium the Best Carport and Veranda Construction Material?
Is aluminium really the best carport, canopy and veranda material? I most definitely believe it is, however I have listed below the main features of aluminium so you can decide for yourself.
It Has a Lightweight
Aluminium is very lightweight for a metal, making it an eco-friendly choice as it creates less transport emissions compared to heavier metals. It’s light weight also makes it easier to move around which means it’s easier to handle when installing, causing even less disruption to you.
It has a High Strength
Aluminium is well known for being a robust, durable material. The aluminium that we use for the construction of our carports, canopies, verandas and glass rooms is the strongest T6 grade structural aluminium which is also used to construct military aircrafts.
It Has an Excellent Resistance to Corrosion
Aluminium is naturally rust and rot resistant as it features a natural protective layer of oxide which prevents the formulation of rot.
It is 100% Recyclable
Aluminium is a fantastic material as it can be recycled time and time again and it will not weaken at all or lose any of its benefits.
It has a Long Life Expectancy
Aluminium has in general has a life expectancy of around 40 years depending on the use of the material however, there are many buildings that were built over 100 years ago and they are still standing strong, proving that aluminium lasts much, much longer than expected.
It is Available with Many Finishes
Although aluminium is natural rust and rot resistant it is compatible with a selection of finishes to protect it further or add a splash of colour including polyester powder coating, liquid paint, electroplating & anodizing.
It Can be Manufactured in Many Shapes
Aluminium can be made into many shapes to reduce the need to have a large number of different parts for one structure. This makes the system more robust and makes installation time much quicker, again causing less disruption to you.
It is Fire Resistant
In the event of a fire, aluminium will not burn, nor will it produce toxic fumes when it is exposed to extremely high temperatures.
Canoports range of carports, canopies, verandas and glass rooms are all manufactured from strongest T6 grade structural aluminium. We chose to use this material as it is extremely robust, yet cost effective, making it long lasting and economical for you, the end user.
