Aluminium: The Security Door for Gold Coast

Living on the coast of Australia provides a number of dangers for our homes and ourselves. The constant precipitation and occasional typhoon can do some damage, but the salty environment is perhaps the toughest of all. It constantly impacts upon everything metallic on our home and car, and over time, can reduce the toughest pieces of steel to nothing but piles of red oxide.

Rustproofing and good maintenance can help, but there is an easier solution. Aluminium is among the toughest metals for a salty environment. Despite its similarities with steel, it possesses a unique property that allows it to exist without corroding or degrading for long periods of time.

Aluminium, unlike steel, spontaneously produces a thin layer of oxide when exposed to the elements. This layer, although thin, protects the substance from any further interaction with its environment, which is a key reason that we at Central Glass provide aluminium security doors for the Gold Coast.

Exposed to much of the influences and whims of the elements, our aluminium security doors must be able to stand tough for our Gold Coast residents over the long-term. And they perform their job perfectly. Those installed years ago have stood up to the salt and tropical storm spray of the Gold Coast without breaking a sweat, and will continue to do so for many years.

Our security screens are another example. Our toughened screens are installed in aluminium security frames, affixed properly by skilled crews, where they provide a barrier that will not fail you, despite the best attempts of mother nature and the passing of time.

As one of the most versatile and functional building materials around, aluminium’s unique corrosion resistance makes it an ideal fit for the Gold Coast. And at Central Glass, we can make it an ideal fit for your home.
