Pergolas Showcase wood Look Without the Maintenance Using Wood Grain Finishes for Aluminum

Nominee

As more people seek to safely gather, pergolas expand outdoor functional gathering spaces by providing structure, definition and distinction to greenspaces, yards, sidewalks and patios. Linetec's wood grain finishes allow pergolas to present the natural look of real wood, while benefitting from lower maintenance and greater longevity.

"Typically constructed of real wood, the enjoyment of a pergola can be hampered by the need for ongoing maintenance, seasonal storage and short lifespans. Overcoming these obstacles, pergolas now can be manufactured with aluminum and finished in wood grain coatings for a similar aesthetic to the natural beauty of wood, but with less care and longer lifespans," said Linetec's marketing manager, Tammy Schroeder, LEED® Green Associate.

Linetec_Pavilion-Woodgrain1_web.jpgLinetec's specialty finishes for architectural aluminum products include more than 50 wood grain options of species and color along with textured grain patterns. These finishes can replicate expensive hardwoods like oak and walnut that may otherwise be cost-prohibitive for pergolas.

Durable and practical, Linetec's wood grain finishes on aluminum deliver a consistent appearance and reliable performance. Unlike actual wood, aluminum pergolas will not rot, swell or warp. Scratch- and corrosion-resistant, these finishes provide durable protection from UV rays and are impervious to humidity and insects.

At the end of their useful life as a pergola, the finished aluminum can be recycled.
