Lighter weight
Aluminium is much lighter than iron, which can make larger pieces easier to handle, display and ship.
ALUMINIUM / ALUMINUM CASTINGWHY CHOOSE ALUMINIUM WHERE ALUMINIUM WORKS WELL ALUMINIUM OR CAST IRON?
Aluminium casting for outdoor products.
Lightweight, rust-resistant metal, finished to order.
Aluminium (aluminum in US spelling) is one of the most practical metals for garden sculptures and outdoor products. We develop and cast aluminium products for retailers, wholesalers and brands, with the finish agreed to suit where and how the product will be used.
Rust behaviour
Aluminium does not rust the way iron does, because rust is iron oxide. Outdoor performance still depends on the finish, which we discuss with you.
Detail
Good moulds allow fine surface detail on animals, foliage and decorative forms.
Finishing options
Aged, antique and contemporary finishes can be developed to match your brand and market.
- Garden sculptures and animal figures
- Decorative ornaments
- Wall art and decorative metalwork
- Signs and plaques
- Planters and outdoor décor
- Custom products developed for your brand
Neither metal is better in every case. Aluminium suits products where lower weight, easier handling and freight matter, while cast iron suits products where weight and a substantial feel are part of the design. We help you choose during development, based on the design, intended use, finish and target cost.
Will an aluminium garden sculpture rust?
Aluminium does not rust in the way iron does. The finish still affects how a product looks over time outdoors, so we agree the finish and coating approach with you for products that will live outside.
Can aluminium products be made to my own design?
Yes. We develop custom aluminium products from sketches, samples or 3D models, including moulds and prototypes where required.
