Maintenance and Care

Aluminum profiles will not fade under extreme weather conditions, nor will the warp and rot like wood, nor will they rust like steel. This excellent feature ensures that aluminum doors and windows can maintain their structural integrity for a long time.

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.
