Our uniquely designed and patented aluminium extrusions provide immense strength and flexibility both for full height columns and over-sleeve solutions. Hardie columns have a projected lifetime in excess of 35 years, providing a usable life
of over 3 times that of steel columns and thus minimising the cost and disruption of replacement every twenty five years.
Our unique and patented hinged column systems slash maintenance costs, enabling the easy replacement of lighting heads as LED technology advances and becomes even more efficient and effective in future years.
Aluminium has exceptional green credentials as well. It can be recycled and reused for the same purposes because unlike many alternative materials, aluminium does not lose its special properties when recycled.
Also when aluminium corrodes, the oxide produced is only “skin deep” and it goes no further. In fact it tends to protect the aluminium! This is the opposite of steel which once it starts corroding (forming iron oxide) the rust continues all the way through the material until its eventual disintegration.
