Choosing the right material for doors, windows, and architectural finishes is a challenging task, and wood finish aluminium profiles in UAE is becoming a popular choice, making it a highly desired material for architectural finishes, doors, and windows. The popularity of wood finish aluminium profiles is that they render a modern alternative to natural wood, and deliver the strength and resilience of metal. If you are wondering whether to go for real wood or wood-look aluminium profiles, AREXCO has come up with the answer to it in this blog, by exploring the advantages of both.

Reasons that led to the rise of wood finish aluminium profiles in UAE

Real wood, with its unmatched organic beauty and traditional charm is always a popular choice for doors, window frames, pergolas, and decorative architectural elements. The unique grain patterns and tactile warmth make it a class apart from other options. But there are downsides to wood – cracking, warping, and splitting, especially with environmental changes, especially the high temperatures and the humidity (especially in the coastal areas in the UAE). Wood is hygroscopic, (meaning it absorbs moisture), and this causes the material to swell, expand, rot, and will be susceptible to mold, and mildew growth. Fine dust and occasional sandstorms in Dubai prove to be detrimental to wood, making the material abrasive, and prone to erosion. Real wood cannot last for long, especially for outdoor or semi-exposed installations.

So what do you do to counter this situation?

With decorative wood coated aluminium in UAE, you get a revolutionary solution that blends the aesthetic beauty of natural timber, and the durability of aluminium. Aluminum wood profiles are not just painted with wood, they go through advanced processes to generate that authentic wood look.
Decorative wood coated aluminium in UAE goes through the following specialized finishing process so it will get that original wood look.

Powder Coating with Sublimation: First, aluminium profiles are coated with a solid color powder integrated with wood-like tones. Then, a heat-resistant film with a detailed wood grain design is wrapped around the profile to create a rich texture and warmth. Under both heat and pressure application, the ink from the film sublimates and fuses with the powder coating, and the aluminium surface is infused with wood pattern.
Once these finishing processes are complete, you get wood-like surfaces for your doors and windows, and they look like real wood, even the colors range from light oaks to dark walnuts, but with the inherent strengths of aluminium.
