When people look at a house, the first thing they notice is the gates. This applies to both current and potential homeowners, as well as intruders. Iron gates convey a sense of safety and elegance.

On the other hand, wooden gates have a lovely rustic feel. However, these materials have several major drawbacks. Maintenance and deterioration are two of the most significant. This is where aluminium enters the picture. Aluminium gates provide exceptional all-around performance, look fantastic, and last for years even without regular maintenance. At Wanneroo Patios, we are not only patio-builders. We also provide other products, including affordable and stylish aluminium gates that are perfect for your home!

Our aluminium gates can be used for driveways, main entrances, side entrances, gardens, and pedestrian barriers. They are about 3 times lighter than steel and iron, but still very strong and sturdy. They are also long-lasting and easy to repair, and their joints are more likely to perform better in the long run. Although not as strong as steel, the powder coating of our aluminium gates provide anti-corrosion properties. This keeps them looking clean and protects them from harsh weather, especially in the winter. They do not warp or rot easily like wood so you can expect them to have a longer life.

Aluminium gates are very affordable and low-maintenance. You can experience cost savings at the point of purchase because it has a lower price tag than usual types of gates. It even helps you save money all throughout your life because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and repairs. Unlike wood or iron, you won’t have to constantly re-stain or repaint aluminium gates. They already have a smooth and attractive powder coating. All you need to do is wash and wipe the gate once in a while.
