Aluzinc Doors
Strong. Versatile.
Aluzinc garage doors have become one of the most popular choices for South African homes, offering a combination of strength, durability and design flexibility.
Available as both sectional and tip-up garage doors, Aluzinc doors are manufactured from coated steel and are available in a choice of colours, embossed woodgrain finishes and panel designs to complement both modern and traditional homes.
Aluzinc offers a practical solution without compromising on appearance.
What is an Aluzinc Garage Door?
Aluzinc garage doors are manufactured from steel coated with an Aluminium-Zinc alloy designed to improve corrosion resistance and extend the life of the steel.
The protective coating consists of:
- 55% Aluminium
- 43.4% Zinc
- 1.6% Silicon
This combination helps protect the steel from corrosion far more effectively than standard galvanised steel, making Aluzinc an excellent choice for homes throughout Cape Town, including many coastal areas.
WHY
THIS MATTERS
Unlike paint or surface coatings applied after manufacture, the Aluminium-Zinc coating forms part of the steel itself, helping to protect the garage door against corrosion and providing long-term durability.
Styles & Designs
One of the reasons Aluzinc garage doors remain so popular is the variety of styles available. Whether your home has a modern architectural design or a more traditional appearance, there’s an Aluzinc garage door to complement it.
Aluzinc garage doors are available as both sectional and tip-up garage doors in a choice of panel designs. Available in a range of colours, finishes and panel designs, Aluzinc garage doors can complement everything from modern homes to more traditional architectural styles.
WHY
THIS MATTERS
Choosing the right finish is about more than colour. The right panel design and finish can completely change the appearance of your garage door and how it complements the style of your home.
