2. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly, outstanding thermal insulation performance

6. Finials

One of the most significant advantages of aluminum window frame extrusions is their exceptional durability. Aluminum is inherently resistant to rust, corrosion, and various weather conditions, making it an ideal material for windows that must withstand the elements. Unlike wood, which can warp, rot, or be affected by termites, aluminum maintains its integrity over time. This strength ensures that the window frames will operate smoothly and remain visually appealing for years, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

Firstly, ensure you have the right tools on hand. You'll need a screwdriver (both flathead and Phillips, depending on the door), pliers, replacement rollers, and a measuring tape. Replacement rollers can be found at any hardware store or online, with measurements typically provided to ensure a perfect fit.

So, when it comes to wrought iron fence vs. aluminum cost, upfront expenditures are about the same. But in the long run, aluminum fencing ends up being much cheaper.

Modern Applications

Advantages of Using Ornamental Iron

All these make it an ideal anodizing option to consider for aluminum profiles for windows and doors.

Notably, extrusion is the primary technique used for making these designs of aluminum profiles.

Conclusion

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.

When advertising wrought iron pieces, highlight their potential for repurposing. For example, they can be turned into sculptures, furniture, or decorative garden elements. Providing examples or inspirational ideas can help potential buyers visualize the possibilities​​.
