Ornamental Aluminum Fences
The Pinnacle of Elegance, Durability, and Low Maintenance
At American Fence, we specialize in providing high-quality ornamental aluminum fencing that combines elegance, durability, and low maintenance. Whether you’re looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property or add a layer of security, our ornamental aluminum fences are the perfect solution.
Our ornamental aluminum fences are made in the USA – manufactured and shipped in Michigan from Royal Aluminum and Steel. Royal’s key feature is their patented BeFree® technology. Holes punched into traditional posts create an ideal spot for insects, especially bees, to gain access to the interior of the posts and build nests. Royal’s BeFree® fence posts utilize a unique manufacturing process to bring the channel in tighter to the post, virtually eliminating the gaps where insects would create nests.
The last thing you want around your yard or pool are breeding grounds for bees and insects!
Why Choose Aluminum Fencing?
Timeless Elegance – Ornamental aluminum fencing offers a classic and sophisticated look that can enhance the beauty of any property. With a variety of styles, colors, and decorative elements to choose from, you can customize your fence to match your personal taste and complement your landscape.
Superior Durability – Aluminum is known for its strength and resilience. Unlike traditional iron fences, aluminum fences are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them an excellent choice for withstanding harsh Buffalo weather. Our fences are built to last, providing you with long-term value and peace of mind.
Low Maintenance – One of the key benefits of ornamental aluminum is its low maintenance requirements. Unlike wood fences that may need regular staining or painting, aluminum fences retain their appearance with minimal upkeep.
Versatility and Customization – Our ornamental aluminum fences come in a wide range of designs, from simple and understated to intricate and ornate. You can choose from various heights, colors, and decorative features such as finials, scrolls, and arched tops. This versatility allows you to create a fence that perfectly suits your property’s style and your personal preferences.
Eco-Friendly Option – Aluminum is a recyclable material, making it an environmentally friendly choice for your fencing needs. By choosing aluminum, you are contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing your environmental footprint.
Our Installation Process
We take a lot of pride in our installation practices, and believe that the proper (and perfect) installation of ornamental aluminum fences should be tailored to each unique property. There are three core factors to ensure a perfect fence:
- Planning – Thoughtfully designing your fence layout and style
- Grading and leveling – Perhaps the most difficult aspect of fencing, this requires experienced installers to implement
- Installation – Depending on your ground conditions and fence needs, a combination of no-dig and concrete-set posts are used to create the ideal fence environment
Anything less is setting you up for issues in the future. We believe in doing things right the first time, not taking short cuts.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ornamental Aluminum Fences
What is the difference between ornamental aluminum and wrought iron?
Ornamental aluminum fencing provides the same elegant look as wrought iron but without the rust, maintenance, and weight. Aluminum is powder-coated for a durable finish that won’t chip, peel, or corrode. Unlike wrought iron, aluminum never needs to be sanded or repainted, making it virtually maintenance-free.
How much does an ornamental aluminum fence cost?
The cost of an ornamental aluminum fence depends on the style, height, grade (residential vs. commercial), the size of your project, and installation conditions. While more expensive than chain link, aluminum offers superior aesthetics and requires no ongoing maintenance costs. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your property.
Is aluminum fencing strong enough for security?
Yes. Modern ornamental aluminum fencing is manufactured from high-strength aluminum alloy and is available in residential, commercial, and industrial grades. The pickets are welded (not screwed) to the rails for maximum strength. For added security, we offer styles with spear-top pickets and anti-climb designs.
Can aluminum fencing be used around a pool?
Absolutely. Ornamental aluminum is one of the most popular choices for pool fencing in Western New York. We install pool-code-compliant aluminum fences with self-closing, self-latching gates that meet New York State pool barrier requirements. The open picket design allows visibility while providing the required safety barrier.
Does aluminum fencing rust?
No. Aluminum does not rust, which makes it ideal for the wet, snowy conditions of Western New York. The powder-coat finish provides an additional layer of protection against the elements. This is a major advantage over wrought iron, which will rust without regular maintenance.
What colors are available for aluminum fencing?
Ornamental aluminum fencing is available in several standard powder-coat colors including black, bronze, white, and hunter green. Black is by far the most popular choice as it provides a classic, elegant look that complements most home styles and landscaping.
