Aluminium vs. Steel

At Al Awnings, we use nothing but the best materials.

That’s why we choose to install aluminium awnings instead of steel. Why do we say aluminium’s better, you ask? Let’s take a look:

Steel Aluminium
Very hot – good conductor of heat Very cool – bad conductor of heat
Drip tray on one side Gutters all the way around
Lever system – difficult multi openings Gearbox system – easy operation
Bulky, crude and heavy – fix to wall only Refined, streamlined and light
Get ready with the paint brush! Maintenance free
Five year guarantee Ten year guarantee
Guaranteed to rust Impossible to rust
Bulky and difficult to operate Aesthetically pleasing
Friction reliant – can close too easily Fixed position
