Aluminum Gate Solutions provided by Globus Gates
A gate isn't just an entry or exit point; it's the first physical interaction anyone has with a property, and over time, one of the most used structural elements. Having worked on different types of gate projects over the years, one thing becomes clear very fast: the wrong gate material is a long-term problem, while the right one quietly does its job for years.
Practical Experience
01 • Why Aluminum Works Better for Gates
Why Aluminum Works Better for Gates
When clients ask us to compare aluminum with iron, steel, or wood, we don't start with design. We start with performance. A gate lives outdoors; it faces weather changes, daily movement, and mechanical stress. Aluminum handles these conditions far better than most traditional materials.
No Rust, No Long-Term Corrosion Issues
Rust is the single most pervasive cause of failure in iron gates over time. Even with good paint, moisture eventually finds its way in. Aluminum does not rust. This makes it especially suitable for outdoor gates exposed to rain, humidity, and direct sunlight. Over the years, aluminum maintains its structure without weakening due to corrosion.
Lightweight without being weak
While being lighter than steel or iron, aluminum becomes tough as anything by using the correct sections and framing. The lower weight reduces stress on hinges, rollers, and motors, directly improving the lifespan of the entire gate system.
Practical for Daily Use
A gate could be opened and closed several times a day. Heavy gates develop problems related to poor alignment, sagging, and operational stiffness. Aluminum gates stay smooth and stable, making them practical for residential and heavy commercial use, especially when reliability is important.
02 • How Globus Gates Approaches Aluminum Gate Projects
How Globus Gates Approaches Aluminum Gate Projects
We don't treat gates as off-the-shelf items. Each place behaves differently, and each user has different expectations. That is exactly why our approach is always requirement-based.
Before making any recommendation, we know that
- The available opening and site conditions
- Whether the gate will be manual or automated
- The level of privacy and security needed
- Frequency of daily use
This groundwork helps avoid common problems that appear years after installation.
Installation and post-installation support
Even a well-built gate cannot work if installed incorrectly. That's why the accuracy of measurement, its alignment, and methods of fixing are made carefully.
After installation, we make sure that clients understand:
- Proper use of gates
- Basic practices in maintenance
- Support options, in case adjustments are needed.
A gate should serve quietly in the background, not cry out for constant attention.
03 • Types of Aluminum Gates We Provide

Aluminum Swing Gates
Swing Gates are another traditional and reliable option when space allows opening either inwards or outwards. Our Aluminum Swing Gates come with well-balanced frames and strong joint connections to avoid sagging in the future. They can be used in residential homes, villas, and independent properties.
Aluminum Sliding Gates
Sliding aluminum gates are great for wide entrances or spaces that have limited space for swinging gates. They operate horizontally along a track or a cantilevered system and are often employed within business or industrial settings for security and guaranteed stability.
Pedestrian Aluminum Gates
Pedestrian gates help in accessing a property on a daily basis but do not include the need to open the main driveway gate. We design them in a way which makes them visually identical with the main gate but easier to use.
04 • Design Is About Function, Not Just Appearance
Design Is About Function, Not Just Appearance
A gate that is aesthetically pleasing but ignores usability will prove to create problems for you later. We focus on usability.
Wind and Load Considerations
Gates which are fully closed may be subjected to strong winds. We cater for this while in design to ensure stability and prevent strain on the structure.
Architectural Compatibility
The gate should complement the building, not clash with it. For modern buildings, it is advisable to use horizontal designs, while others may be best with solid or neutral designs. The custom design ensures it blends well with the buildings.
Material Quality and Surface Finish
Material quality refers to
The strength of an aluminum gate also depends not only on aluminum but also on its finishing.
We focus on:
- Proper grades of aluminum suitable for outdoor structures
- Reinforcing the frame in stress points
- High-quality powder coating application
It is not just a matter of applying a certain color with powder coating. It provides a level of protection for aluminum from exposure to the sun's rays and from wear and tear that causes discoloration of the aluminum material. Lack of a good coating process causes premature deterioration thereof, and this is what makes finishes just as important as fabrication.
Automation Compatibility and Future Readiness
Most of the clients have planned to automate their gates either in the future or currently. Aluminum gates are easy to automate because they are lighter in weight.
We design gates with:
- Proper balance for motor efficiency
- Space for motor mounting
- Smooth movement to minimize wears
- ·
Such an approach guarantees that the operation of the automation systems is done safely and efficiently without any undue strain.
Common Applications of Aluminum Gates
Residential Properties:
Homeowners like aluminum gates for their appearance, maintenance simplicity, and reliability. Security is enhanced, but no additional maintenance is needed.
Industrial Facilities:
Factories, warehouses, and industrial sites benefit from aluminium's resistance to corrosion and its ability to perform in demanding environments.
Societies of Housing and Institutions
Long-term maintenance costs are important in shared spaces. Aluminum gates reduce the needs for maintenance while keeping access control reliable.
