Fabrication & Finishes
From raw aluminum billet to finished railing, every step happens under one roof in Aldergrove, BC. We utilize a range of aluminum alloys carefully selected for their strength, extrudability, corrosion resistance, and ability to support a long-lasting powder-coated finish that performs for decades.
The Material
Purpose-selected aluminum alloys. Engineered for architectural extrusions and structural railing systems.
We build our railings from three complementary aluminum alloys, 6063, 6061, and 6005, selecting each based on the specific performance requirements of the profile. Factors such as strength, extrudability, corrosion resistance, and long-term powder-coat performance all play a role in choosing the right alloy for the right component. 6063 delivers the flexibility needed for clean extrusion profiles and detail work. 6061 offers the highest tensile strength for load-critical components. 6005 sits in between, with greater tensile strength than 6063 but more flexibility than 6061. Together they give every railing the balance we design for: Strength with Flexibility.
Aluminum does not rust, rot, or warp, and it will not burn, making it well suited for Canadian weather and demanding environments. When properly pretreated and powder coated, our components are designed to maintain a durable, attractive finish for decades.
Our profiles are engineered to place metal where strength is required and pull it back where it isn't. The result is a stronger, lighter, more efficient railing system that exceeds building code requirements while maintaining competitive value.
The Process
Six stages. One facility. Zero outsourcing.
Extrusion
Aluminum billets are extruded through precision-engineered dies to form our proprietary railing profiles and posts.
Fabrication
Profiles are cut, punched, drilled, and welded to exact spec. All components are precision fabricated and go through a multi-level quality assurance program.
Pre-Treatment
Five-stage chemical pre-treatment process to maximize powder-coat adhesion and ensure long-term finish durability.
Powder Coating
Coated on our own in-house powder coating line, our finishes meet AAMA 2604 standards, delivering superior UV resistance, chip resistance, and long-term color consistency. We are also one of a select group of applicators that perform annual AAMA 2605 testing and are certified to apply AAMA 2605 grade powders when project requirements demand the highest level of performance.
Quality Assurance
Every batch is inspected against our standards before packaging. Components are precision fabricated to ensure consistent fit across all systems.
Packaging & Delivery
Components individually wrapped and bundled for safe transport. Lead time is typically 2 to 4 weeks.
The Finish
Powder-coated to survive decades, not just seasons.
Every component goes through our five-stage pre-treatment process before being powder coated on our own in-house line. The result is a tough, UV-resistant, low-maintenance finish that holds up across Canadian seasons without peeling, cracking, or fading.
14 standard colours. Custom colours available on request.
