Several innovative trends are reshaping the aesthetics and functionality of fencing solutions. In truth, these design trends reflect the desires, goals, and needs of the target audience—you, the homeowner.
Let’s dive into the top aluminum fence design trends for this year. Who knows, you might relate to some of these trends.
Minimalist vs. Ornate Designs
We’re seeing a strong shift towards minimalistic and ornate fences. This may seem counterintuitive, but it is a polarization of tastes. Thanks to the customization of aluminum fencing, more people can choose their desired designs.
We recommend the Floridian or Carolina designs if you’re looking for the sophisticated, timeless appeal of clean lines and sleek profiles. However, if you’re more interested in a classic or luxurious look, the Castle or Manhattan is for you. You can additionally enhance your fence’s elegance with intricate scrollwork, decorative finials, and beautiful caps.
Smart Technology Integration
Smart technology is becoming an integral part of our homes, and fencing is no exception. On its own, aluminum fencing can complement home security systems like Ring. We offer automated gates that can be integrated with access control systems, enhancing not only security but also convenience.
Another exciting trend is smart lighting, and aluminum fencing is ahead of the curve with solar caps. Solar caps are self-contained lights that run off of a built-in solar panel. These caps are a cost-effective, easy-to-install, and eco-friendly way to illuminate your yard. Enjoy a new ambiance and improved security in your outdoor spaces.
Mixed Material Applications
There are so many creative ways to combine aluminum fencing with other materials. We’ve seen short aluminum fencing enhance stone garden walls and add security to raised landscaping elements. We also enjoy seeing our clients combine aluminum fence panels with wooden posts for beautiful decks. Aluminum fences compliment so many other materials. The creative combinations our clients come up with create unique and charming designs.
Low-Maintenance
People are changing their view of fences from an exterior element into an investment—an investment in your home’s curb appeal, resale value, and safety. So, of course, long-term, low-maintenance investments are more desirable.
Why work so hard to maintain a wooden fence that lasts only 15 to 20 years? Aluminum and vinyl fences are more durable and resistant to weathering and pests. You can keep your home safe for over 50 years with minimal maintenance!
Eco-Friendly
More and more people want to contribute to a healthier, greener community— and we want to help! Aluminum fences are recyclable and can be made from recycled materials. We’re both Green Certified and HUBZone Certified— and proud to be.
What do those certifications actually mean? Well, Green Certified is a fancy way of saying we adhere to environmentally friendly practices. When you buy from us, you can feel confident that our products have a minimal environmental impact.
