I.Corrosion-resistant and durable, the top choice for outdoor use.

1. Natural rust prevention: The surface of aluminium alloy naturally has an oxide film. Combined with spraying and fluorocarbon spraying techniques, it will not rust even under conditions such as sun exposure, rain, acid rain, or salt spray from the sea. It can be used for 20 to 30 years with out the need for painting for rust prevention. Steel is prone to rusting outdoors all year round and requires repeated rust removal and painting.

2.Anti-aging: Resistant to ultraviolet rays, with minimal deformation due to temperature differences. It is unlikely to crack or peel off even in the heavy rain in the south or the frost in the north.

II.Light in weight, easy to install, and with low load capacity

The density of aluminium profiles is much lower than that of steel. At the same strength level, their weight is only one third of that steel.

Roof terrace canopy: Reduces the load on the floor, no need for additional reinforcement of the floor surface
The construction is very convenient. It can be assembled by hand, which shortens the construction period and reduces the cost of hoisting.

III.Strong enough, resistant to snowstorms

The industrial aluminium profiles have undergone aging treatment and are combined with the frame structure. They are resistant to bending and wind pressure. When paired with tempered glass or solar panels, they can withstand regular strong winds and snowfall. Customized thick-profiled materials can be provided according to the span. This also applies to large-span courtyard canopies.

IV.Flexible in processing, with beautiful design

The profiles can be custom-made with various cross-sections, including are-shaped, flat-top, inclined-top, and circular-arc shaped special rain shelters.
The powder coating can be available in dozens of colors such as gray, coffee, white, and coffee brown. It can be made to match the color of the exterior walls and doors, and its appearance is superior to the of iron sheds and color steel sheds.
Modular assembly, standardized accessories, making it very convenient to disassemble, modify and extend the canopy in the later stage.

V.Waterproof and noise-reducing, with extremely low maintenance costs

The profile has a drainage tank structure and is equipped with a water guiding design, which reduces the risk of water leakage.
The surface is dense and does not absorb water. After being washed with dust or rainwater, it becomes clean. It requires almost no maintenance. There is no need for rust removal, painting or repair.

VI.Environmental protection and recyclability

Aluminium is a 100% renewable metal. After the rain shelter is dismantled, the profiles can be recycled and sold, with a high residual value. After rusting, the iron sheet has basically no recycling value.
