Aluminum WoodGrain & Non WoodGrain Applications
ALUMINUM SYSTEMS
Our state of the art aluminum modular systems are designed to conceal joints, screws, rivets and fasteners. Our focus is on simple systems that are versatile, durable and require effortless installation. From a simple gate to sophisticated architectural designs, the possibilities are left to your imagination.
POWDER COATING
Our special powder coating system means we can offer our products in an even greater range of colors. Their unique powder is electrically charged then baked in an oven, fusing together in a smooth and permanent finishing. The result is a more consistent, durable, and rich color.
WOOD EFFECT
The Sublimation coupled with the powder coating of the aluminum is the best.
Eco Friendly
Choosing a material with sustainability in mind is becoming more paramount. Metal is one of the most recycled materials on the planet and aluminum boasts one of the highest recycling rates of any metal. Knotwood Aluminum is 100% recyclable, uses VOC free coatings and lead free finishes resulting in a smaller environmental footprint.
Dissipates Heat
Knotwood is perfect for the outdoors. Our Aluminum is great for sunlit areas as it releases heat faster than most other materials. It naturally absorbs heat slowly but releases it quickly. So whether it be a deck, handrail, cladding, battens or any other application, Knotwood cools quicker than alternative materials.
Lightweight
One of the best known properties of aluminum is that it is light, with a density one third that of steel and a weight 50% less than wood when compared equally. The low density of aluminum accounts for it being lightweight but this does not compromise its strength.
A lightweight material means low transport costs, easy installation and handling while maintaining structural integrity in all types of environments and conditions
Corrosion Resistant
Aluminum is made from high quality marine grade Aluminum. Contrary to other metals, Aluminum reacts with the oxygen in the air to form an extremely thin layer of oxide. Though unnoticeable, this naturally occurring layer provides excellent corrosion protection and is self-repairing if damaged. This anodizing process naturally improves it’s resilience to corrosion in harsh environments
Insect Proof
Aluminum is impervious to insects, no need to worry about termites or ants affecting the beautiful finish. In contrast to wood, aluminum doesn’t require additional chemical treatments to protect them from pest attack.
Color Stability
Knotwood Aluminum looks better for longer. We rigorously test our colors to withstand the most extreme environments, ensuring your color choice stands the test of time. In addition, Knotwood’s advanced paint technology and sublimation process provide a durable, powder coat finish that resists peeling, chipping, and cracking. When maintained correctly, Knotwood colors and finishes will remain as true as the day you bought it.
Frost & Freeze Resistant
Unlike most steel grades, Knotwood Aluminum does not become brittle at low temperatures. Instead, its strength increases. In addition, Knotwood doesn’t absorb water or moisture, and our products won’t warp and expand when exposed to extreme cold conditions
Non Warping
Aluminum is not only lighter and stronger but it’s also straighter than real wood. This means, building with a perfectly crafted marine grade material that not only looks fantastic, but is lighter, easier to install, requires less maintenance and does not warp over time.
Damage Resistant
The Wood Grain or Simulated Stone Privacy Fence Panels are durable and resistant to potential inflicted damage, such as graffiti. Simply use a power washer and any stain will be removed.
Slip-Resistant
For use around swimming pools and wet areas, it is essential to use Knotwood’s optional non-slip powder coating. This coating prevents unwanted slips when surfaces are damp and adds a layer of safety and convenience.
Non-Combustible
Fire resistance and resilience are important no matter where we live. This is where aluminum option benefits truly surpass the use wood. aluminum is a non combustible product that has been manufactured to meet relevant international fire standards.
Stain & Scratch Resistant
A topcoat of specially developed, exterior-grade paint is baked on to provide resistance to chipping, flaking, and blistering to ensure the finish retains its look for longer. Our specialized sublimation process permeates the entire powder coating thickness, meaning Knotwood’s finish is the industry’s leading material in hard-wearing wood-like products.
Non Porous
Aluminum is a product that works well in various climates around the world. Damp, wet and shady environments do not have a negative effect on products as they are non porous. Aluminum will not swell, suffer from mold, mildew or rot as wood can when exposed to wet conditions. As aluminum does not retain water, it’s easy to maintain and does not require sanding, sealing, strong detergents or harsh chemicals to keep it beautiful.
