Although aluminum does not rust, it can deteriorate when exposed to oxygen, a process known as oxidation. Therefore, the necessity to protect and preserve the material's structural integrity over its long lifecycle gave rise to aluminum coatings. So, in this article, we'll talk in-depth about different types of aluminum coatings we offer and the advantages of each. Let's dive in!

Building entry and exit ways are among the busiest areas of a structure. They are at the whim of the natural elements, enduring harsh conditions like the scorching heat, snowstorms, heavy rains, debris, pollution, and more. Therefore, performing regular maintenance work is vital to ensure the safe and effective traffic flow of the building’s residents, employees, and visitors.

When you’re designing a new project, there are many things to consider, but one of the most important factors is the budget. We specialize in understanding the needs of each individual project, and our team is always ready to sit one-on-one with architects to collaborate in designing within a specified budget. 

While there are alternative materials and alloys, aluminum has considerable advantages - lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and recyclable to name a few. It’s these properties not only allow for design flexibility, but also reduce the overall material, transportation, and assembly cost of a project.

We get it, we’re human and sometimes mistakes happen. But if we can avoid them to make our lives easier, why wouldn’t we?! Mistakes on specifications and plans can cause disruptions during the bidding process, so we laid out the most common issues to be aware of when your design includes an AVAdek aluminum canopy.
