Aluminium Fabrication in Forster

Frequently Asked Questions

Ask A Question
  • Is aluminium better than stainless steel for outdoor use?

    Both metals are good options, but aluminium is lighter and naturally resistant to rust. It’s often used outdoors where reducing weight is important — such as on boats, trailers, or fences. Stainless steel is more durable but heavier and costlier.

  • How do you protect aluminium from corrosion?

    Aluminium forms a natural oxide layer that protects it from corrosion. For extra durability, anodising or powder-coating can be added, but in most outdoor settings, raw aluminium holds up well without these finishes.

  • Can aluminium fabrication be powder-coated?

    Yes. Powder-coating aluminium can improve appearance and add a layer of protection against abrasion and weathering. It’s often used for screens, fences, and architectural panels for colour and durability.

  • What thicknesses can aluminium be fabricated in?

    Aluminium is available in thin sheets for cladding and thick plates for structural work. Common gauges range from under 1mm up to 25mm+, and we match material thickness to your specific project and load-bearing needs.
