At Slatwerx, we believe in combining beauty, durability, and practicality to bring you outdoor solutions that stand the test of time. When it comes to gates, fencing, privacy screening, and enclosures, powder-coated aluminium slats outperform traditional timber in every way. Here’s why aluminium is the ultimate choice for your next project.
Durability and Longevity
Aluminium slats are designed to withstand the harshest conditions. Unlike timber, which is prone to warping, rotting, and shrinking over time, aluminium retains its shape and strength for decades. Whether it’s intense summer heat or heavy rain, aluminium stays as reliable as the day it was installed.
“Enjoy peace of mind knowing your outdoor spaces are built to last.”
Low Maintenance
Timber requires constant attention—sanding, staining, or painting are part of its upkeep. Aluminium slats, on the other hand, need only a quick clean with warm soapy water to maintain their sleek appearance. Forget the hassle and focus on enjoying your outdoor spaces.
“Spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying your home.”
Weather Resistance
From the Tassie to the tropics, Australia’s diverse climates demand a robust material. Aluminium is naturally resistant to rust, corrosion, and insect damage, making it the perfect choice for outdoor structures. Timber, by contrast, is vulnerable to moisture and termites, especially in humid environments.
“Built for Australian weather, no matter where you live.”
Lightweight but Strong
With its high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminium slats offer unmatched versatility. They’re easy to handle and install while remaining durable and secure. This makes them ideal for DIY enthusiasts or professional installations alike.
“Effortless to install, robust to use.”
Aesthetic Versatility
Style matters. Aluminium slats are available in a range of 10 premium colours, plus natural wood-look finishes, allowing you to achieve a modern or timeless design without the maintenance of real timber.
“Customise your look with endless design options.”
Eco-Friendly Choice
Making the switch to aluminium doesn’t just benefit your home—it’s better for the planet. By reducing the demand for timber, aluminium helps protect forests while being 100% recyclable.
“A sustainable choice with long-term benefits.”
