sleek-fence-modern-privacy-aluminum-powder-coated-long-island-nyWhat is a powder-coated finish on an aluminum fence? What are the benefits?

A powder-coated finish on an aluminum fence is a protective and decorative coating applied to the surface of the aluminum material. It involves a process where a dry powder consisting of pigments, resin, and other additives is electrostatically charged and then sprayed onto the aluminum surface. The coated aluminum is then heated, causing the powder to melt and fuse into a smooth and durable finish as it cools.

Color Variety – Powder coating allows various color options and finishes, including matte, satin, gloss, and textured finishes. This versatility enables homeowners and property managers to choose a color that complements their property’s aesthetics and style.

Low Maintenance – Powder-coated aluminum fences require minimal maintenance. Unlike traditional paint, powder coating doesn’t require regular repainting or touch-ups. It retains its color and finish for an extended period without frequent maintenance.

Durability – Powder coating provides a highly durable finish resistant to chipping, peeling, fading, and corrosion. This makes it ideal for outdoor applications like fencing, where exposure to the elements is common. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.

Environmental Friendliness – Powder coating is an environmentally friendly finishing method. It produces little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it a safer and more sustainable choice than solvent-based paints.

Composite Fence and Home Remodel | East Islip NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Greenwood Fence Home RemodelAs the premier provider of composite fence and home remodel work Gappsi presents our latest job in East Islip NY

Greenwood Fence offers unmatched quality, durability, and value. Their products are crafted from premium materials and engineered to exceed industry standards, ensuring years of reliable performance and aesthetic appeal. Composite fences can last between 30-50 years if looked after properly.

Composite Fences Are Built To Last

New fencing doesn’t just work to keep people out – it also keeps kids and pets on your property. Your backyard can be a private play area for your children, a safe haven for them to let out their energy. At the same time, a fence allows your dog to safely go outside without a leash.

A fence is not just a boundary marker also for your property; it’s an investment. When choosing the right fencing material, durability and longevity are two crucial factors to consider.  Fencing provides a sense of security and protection for your property. It serves as a physical barrier that prevents intruders from accessing your property. This is especially important for businesses that store valuable items or have sensitive information that needs to be protected.

Among the various types of fences available today, composite fences are gaining popularity due to their unique features and benefits.

The high-density core Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) material, combined with a co-extruded polymer surface shield, prevents water absorption unlike wood and other composite products.  Also unlike wood, there is no rotting or decaying with their  WPC fence boards.  A Greenwood Fence board is resistant to insect infestations, such as termites.  The use of aluminum parts, posts, and rails ensures it will not rust.

Aspen Brown Greenwood FenceComposite Fence Materials are Leading The Industry

Durability: Composite material, composed of wood fibers and plastic, offers unmatched durability. Unlike wood, it is resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring your fence stands strong against the test of time. Say goodbye to the hassles of regular maintenance and repairs that often accompany wooden fences.

Weather Resistance: Composite fencing is engineered to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Unlike wood, it won’t warp, crack, or splinter when exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture. This makes it ideal for regions with diverse climates, ensuring your fence remains pristine yearly.

Strength and Versatility: Greenwood Fence’s composite material combines the strength of wood fibers with the flexibility of plastic, resulting in a fence that is not only robust but also versatile. It can be customized to fit various design preferences without compromising on structural integrity.

Environmental Sustainability: Choosing composite material is an eco-friendly decision. By utilizing recycled materials, Greenwood Fence contributes to reducing environmental impact. This makes their fences an excellent choice for environmentally conscious homeowners who seek sustainable alternatives.

Aluminum Components: Greenwood Fence understands the importance of longevity in fencing materials, which is why the metal components in the fences are made of aluminum. Aluminum boasts superior corrosion resistance, ensuring that your fence remains rust-free even in challenging weather conditions. This choice not only enhances the lifespan of the fence but also reduces maintenance requirements.

Greenwood Fence in Aspen Brown

In our recent home remodel project we installed the Aspen Brown Greenwood Fence with black aluminum posts.  On one side of the house, we installed a 10ft double gate.  A 10-foot gate can be a good choice for driveways, fields, pastures, or bush lanes because it can fit most vehicles, including cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs. It can also allow access to large equipment, such as riding mowers.  On the other side of the home, we installed a single 4ft gate.

Gappsi completely remodeled the house with a modern country-style look. We installed all the new English strips and field stones for the bottom half of the facade of the home. We also installed Cumaru Wood known as Brazilian Teak with blue vinyl siding. Cumaru wood is a dense, tough wood with a wavy, coarse texture and irregular grain. Cumaru is known for its durability, distinctive color, and resistance to rot, decay, and insects. It’s also weather-resistant and can withstand direct water exposure without treatment.  Cumaru can range from golden tan to reddish brown with dark grain accents.

Gappsi Natural Stone Collection Blue Limestone

We installed G045 Blue Limestone with G045 two-inch coping for the step treads selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.  Gappsi continued the limestone in the walkway and porch area of the home.  Limestone is a hard material that fairs well under exposure to the elements, making it an excellent candidate for outdoor patios, steps, and walkways. It is easy to cut and convenient to work with, minimizing costly complications during installation and contributing toward a flawless finished product.  Blue Limestone is used in a wide range of exterior and interior building applications from building facades to low-level garden walls or boundary walls.

This is the latest Composite Fence and Home Remodel along with all the masonry completed by Gappsi in East Islip NY.  A remodeled facade will increase the value of your home. When it comes time to sell your property, it is a good investment. Potential buyers will appreciate a house with a new facade, so choosing the right materials and contractor for your facade renovation is very important.  Give Gappsi a call today for a FREE consultation.

SLEEKFENCE™ Aluminum Fence vs Composite, Vinyl, Wood, Iron, and Chain Link Fences

Posted by Gappsi Group on

sleekfence-aluminum-fence-vs-composite-vinyl-wood-iron-and-chain-link-fencesSLEEKFENCE™ aluminum fence is for designers and discerning homeowners who want to make their fence a feature, and a statement that lasts for a long time. Aluminum fences are a great alternative to composite or vinyl fencing.

First, find the fence that best fits your property. Your choice of fencing materials enormously impacts your overall fencing project. The materials will affect how much you pay, how the fence looks, how long it lasts, and how much upkeep it requires.

Primarily utilizing high-grade aluminum, our modern fences are found at luxury residences and high-end commercial projects.

SLEEKFENCE™ – made from 100% 6063-T6 Aluminum with a heavy-duty powder coating.

Aluminum is one of the most recycled and recyclable materials available on the market today. Nearly 75% of all aluminum produced in the U.S. is still in use today.

SLEEKFENCE™ Aluminum Fence vs. Composite Fence

Aluminum offers considerable advantages. The most noteworthy one is that it is corrosion-resistant, making it the best choice for coastal places with salty air like the North and South shores of Long Island. Such gate fencing will stay solid and not rust longer than other types. Aluminum is also light but resilient. This material can also be 100% recycled.  Aluminum fences are great for manual or low-power automatic gates and fencing in Long Island due to their lightweight. This metal is also less expensive than steel.

Wood fibers and plastic ingredients are usually used for producing composite fences. Because of this, such panels are much lighter than aluminum, steel, and other materials. This factor can significantly reduce the load on load-bearing walls, fasteners, and fence hinge gates of the sub-facing system and reduce its total weight.  A composite fence is durable and can withstand weather conditions: hot sun, hail, or snow.

A composite fence does not develop fungus, mold, etc. Composite fences are not subject to termites, unlike gates and wood fences.  They are also easy to clean from dust and dirt. They do not require special cleaners.

sleekfence-aluminum-fence-vs-composite-vinyl-wood-iron-and-chain-link-fences3SLEEKFENCE™ Aluminum Fence vs. Vinyl Fence

As with aluminum, the only maintenance your vinyl fence will require is a cleaning a couple of times a year. If we are talking about strength, then aluminum is undeniably stronger, aluminum can dent, but it cannot crack.

Vinyl can be known to crack if the impact is sufficient. Of course, vinyl does not come in dark colors as the pigments required would ultimately fail under UV exposure. This limits colors to light or neutral color options. Aluminum can be powder coated, a durable baked-on finish that withstands the elements and the test of time. For this reason, most luxury contemporary fences are made from aluminum for a lifetime of enjoyment. A vinyl fence requires little to no maintenance; you are only required to clean it at your discretion.

SLEEKFENCE™ Aluminum Fence vs. Wood Fence

A wood fence will usually cost less upfront than an aluminum fence.  They require much more maintenance moving forward and will eventually need to be replaced. Wood fences are subject to warping, damage, mold, mildew, and termites. You’ll need to inspect your wood fence annually to ensure that rotten boards are replaced, loose nails are hammered in, and screws are tightened. You will also need to be on the lookout for leaning and wobbly posts. A cedar fence typically needs to be cleaned once every 3-5 years to remove any moss, mold, mildew, dirt, peeling paint, and graying. The fence will also need to be resealed or painted after it has been cleaned.

An aluminum fence would cost more upfront. An aluminum fence requires little to no maintenance; you are required to clean it at your discretion. We recommend you use car wash soap to clean your SLEEKFENCE™, and that will run you about $50-$100 a year. You’ll most likely only need to clean your SLEEKFENCE™ twice a year. The only other materials you’ll need to clean your SLEEKFENCE™ are microfiber rags and a hose.

Durability: Aluminum vs. Wood and Vinyl

Durability is a key factor when it comes to fences. While wood and vinyl fences can be vulnerable to issues like rot, insects, and weather-related damage, aluminum stands strong against these challenges. Its resistance to rust and corrosion makes it a durable choice, even in tough outdoor conditions.

Versatility: Aluminum vs. Wrought Iron and Chain Link

SLEEKFENCE™ Aluminum fences shine when it comes to versatility, especially when compared to wrought iron and chain link options. They offer a similar visual appeal to wrought iron but without the heavy weight and demanding maintenance. On the other hand, while chain link fences might be budget-friendly, they lack the aesthetic charm that aluminum brings to the table.

Low Maintenance: Aluminum vs. Steel and Bamboo

Maintenance requirements can heavily influence your fencing decision. Aluminum fences require minimal upkeep compared to steel, which can be susceptible to rust. Bamboo, while eco-friendly, demands consistent care to prevent deterioration. Aluminum strikes a balance between durability and low maintenance.

Budget Considerations: Aluminum vs. PVC and Composite

Budget is often a significant factor in fencing choices. While PVC and composite fences are cost-effective, they might not offer the same level of durability as aluminum. Aluminum fences provide a good compromise between affordability and long-lasting value.

Aesthetic Appeal: Aluminum vs. Stone and Brick

The visual appeal of a fence is important for enhancing a property’s charm. Stone and brick fences exude classic elegance, while aluminum offers a sleek and modern appearance. With various styles and finishes available, SLEEKFENCE™ aluminum fences allow for personalization to match your preferences.

With so many fence types and materials to choose from making a decision, about which option is the best choice is hard for many homeowners. Often it depends on the size of the yard, the desired maintenance requirements, and the buyer’s budget. Gappsi breaks down three of the most popular fence materials – wood, vinyl, and aluminum – to assist in the installation process.

Whether it’s in an urban, rural, or suburban community, adding a fence around the perimeter of a yard offers incredible benefits to a homeowner’s life. Fences can improve the appearance of a home, increase the resale price of a home, and most importantly add security and privacy to a yard.
