Pergolas made from extruded aluminum, like those from Outdoor Elements®, offer the longest lifespan of any other type of pergola, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of your outdoor space longer. Outdoor Elements was established with a vision to introduce an innovative product built in the USA with the highest design and engineering standards, inspired by a tradition of ingenuity and hard work.
What is the Difference Between Extruded and Rolled Aluminum?
As noted, Outdoor Elements roofs are built from extruded materials vs. the rolled materials other manufacturers use. Extruded materials are formed from a large piece of aluminum melted to 900 degrees, then run through a press and die in the desired shape. They’re then stretched, cooled, and treated. Extruded components are used when precision is vital, such as NASA.
In contrast, rolled materials are run through a series of rollers that bend them into a shape. Those shapes are a little less defined, typical of what you would find in low-end aluminum siding. The pieces aren’t as thick as extruded aluminum pieces, which means they aren’t as durable and won’t last as long. Most pergola manufacturers use rolled aluminum instead of extruded. Finally, the rolling process isn’t as precise as the extrusion process.
Extruded aluminum offers exceptional durability and strength; unlike steel, it resists corrosion. An aluminum pergola can last up to 30 years and sometimes even beyond. Our aluminum pergolas offer a modern aesthetic and require only minimal maintenance
