Fire	Non-combustible aluminum components	Depends on the product	Combustible
Finish	7-stage powder coat, AAMA 2604 compliant approach	Standard coatings, limited colors	Stain or paint

Inside the factory

Aluglobus fabricates its own aluminum systems and ships them factory direct to homeowners and contractors across the U.S. Our most-watched video, with 250,041 views, walks through the shop.

7-stage powder coating

A finish built to last outdoors.

Every patio system is finished through a 7-stage powder coating process, with an AAMA 2604 compliant approach.

Prep before powder. Most coating failures start before the powder goes on, so every part is pretreated in stages first.
110 ft oven. Long-span beams and patio profiles cure in one piece in a 110 ft powder coating oven.
Adhesion and corrosion resistance. The pretreatment helps the powder bond and protects the aluminum outdoors.
Colors and woodgrain. Black, white, custom colors and woodgrain-look finishes with TIGER and Cardinal powders.

"I couldn't be happier with the fence. From the moment it went up, it completely transformed my backyard. The sleek design without visible posts gives it such a modern, high-end look. It's like having a piece of art around my home. I also love that it's fire-resistant, which gives me peace of mind living in this area. Definitely worth every penny!"
