Aluminium Slat Fencing is an ideal addition to the contemporary Australian home.
Slat panel fencing perfectly aligns with the simple geometric shapes currently popular in modern homes and is the logical evolution from wooden slat fences. Aluminium slat fencing holds several advantages over wooden alternatives and has a range of colours to fit flexibly within contemporary designs.
The Contemporary Home
Contemporary homes use simple geometric shapes and a combination of materials to pop by highlighting the contrast in colour tones between their materials. Many contemporary homes pair neutral tones with more richly-coloured ones. These homes may utilise the breadth of building materials available, including bricks, metals, glass and wood.
Another growing focus in contemporary architecture is a focus on sustainability. As environmental concerns have grown globally, so has a focus on easily recyclable materials. Materials such as aluminium and steel are highly recoverable. These metals can be recycled repeatedly without a loss in quality. Recycling aluminium saves 95% of the energy it takes to manufacture new aluminium products from bauxite ore.
Aluminium Slat Fencing and The Contemporary Home
Aluminium slat fencing is a perfect fit for the contemporary home, being the logical evolution from wooden slat fencing. It is suitable for both the neutral and bold elements of the modern home. Aluminium slat panels are available in several colours and styles, with some simulating wood, enabling its varied use.
The Metwood aluminium that Metric Fencing uses to manufacture slat panel fences includes neutral tone options like Cream and Nightsky, as well as rich Bushcherry and Jarrah for striking colour combinations.
