Aluminum – The Superior Choice
You might have heard the saying, “Aluminum is the new steel.” When you think of all the advantages this incredible material offers, you might wonder why you didn’t make the switch a long time ago. Aluminum is becoming more and more popular in a wide range of industrial and commercial environments because it beats steel in so many categories. Here are just a few.
- Cost-effective – Probably the most important advantage of aluminum is it costs a great deal less than aluminum. How can this be the case? Aluminum is one-third the weight of steel. Not only is it less expensive to buy, it can also help you trim your labor costs. It takes fewer workers to move aluminum conduit into place because it’s so lightweight. But just because it weighs less, that doesn’t mean it’s not strong – in fact, our aluminum products are just as strong as steel, thanks to the 6005 aluminum alloy they contain.
- Rust- and corrosion-resistant – Steel, of course, develops rust over time. It can get so bad, in fact, that it will simply degrade. When you’re counting on steel conduit to protect delicate electrical wiring, that can be a disaster. The only way you can keep this from happening is to purchase galvanized steel with a zinc coating – a very expensive proposition. Aluminum, on the other hand, has a natural coating that protects it from degradation. You can use it underground, or use it near chemicals or water.
- Durability – Steel can also degrade due to extreme temperatures. Aluminum not only withstands whatever the elements throw at it, the material actually gains strength when the temperatures turn bitterly cold. When the temperatures turn scorching, aluminum will stay cool to the touch – a major safety benefit.
- Friendly to the environment – One of the more amazing features of aluminum is that it can be recycled time and time again without losing its strength or any of its other outstanding features.
