Speaking of fence, stainless steel, iron, zinc steel, PVC, aluminum alloy and other materials are emerging one after another in the market. Among them, aluminum alloy guardrails are the most popular. So, what makes aluminum alloy guardrails popular. Let's make a comparative analysis of the guardrail varieties in the market.

Aluminum alloy fence VS iron fence
- Iron guardrail: Although the cost is low, it is easy to rust and the color is monotonous, which affects the aesthetics. Moreover, the iron handrail is heavier than the aluminum alloy handrail, which increases the load of the real estate itself.
- Aluminum alloy guardrail: the surface is anodized according to industrial standards. The natural metallic luster can be made into any appearance effect we want after sanding and electrophoresis. It is made by heat treatment process, which greatly increases the tensile and compressive properties of the railing, does not rust, does not produce light pollution, and lasts for a long time.
PVC alloy fence VS PVC alloy fence
- PVC railing: Although light, it is not strong enough, with low safety performance and easy to crack after a long time;
- Aluminum alloy guardrail: never rust, more suitable for outdoor balcony exposed to the sun and rain.
- Stainless steel guardrail: 201 plate commonly used in the market is easy to rust. The price of stainless steel 304.316 is very expensive. It is rusted for a long time due to air pollution, especially coastal salt corrosion, and has a single color.
- Aluminum alloy guardrail: the surface is tightly attached with a layer of hard aluminum oxide film. After surface treatment, its protection performance can be further strengthened. Therefore, it has strong corrosion resistance. It can be used safely in places with air pollution or coastal areas with sea salt corrosion.
- Zinc steel fence: when zinc steel products were first launched, they were said to have been rustless for 20 years, but the actual situation is that they began to rust in two or three years. Once the paint or zinc coating is broken, the zinc steel fence will rust.
- Aluminum alloy fence: the strength of aluminum alloy guardrail is that it will never rust.
