Built Different. Engineered Before It Ever Reaches the Jobsite.
Most systems look similar online. The real difference is inside the manufacturing process: the aluminum grade, coating preparation, frame engineering, fabrication control, and how the system performs over time.
Not just a better look, a better system.
Watch each comparison below to see why contractors choose Globus Gates for aluminum gates, fences, patio covers, wall cladding, and architectural aluminum systems.
In-House Manufacturing vs Outsourced Systems
Control the process, control the result. Factory-direct systems give contractors better consistency from raw aluminum to finished product.
Others
- Imported or partially outsourced components
- No control over material quality or consistency
- Assembly-based systems, not engineered builds
Globus Gates
- Full in-house production, extrusion to coating to fabrication
- Consistent quality from raw aluminum to final product
- Built systems, not assembled kits
7-Stage Architectural Coating vs Basic Coating
A finish is only as strong as the preparation behind it. This is where long-term outdoor performance starts.
Others
- Single-stage or minimal prep
- Poor adhesion over time
- Faster fading, peeling, and corrosion
Globus Gates
- Full 7-stage pretreatment process
- Chemical bonding plus corrosion resistance
- AAMA 2604 architectural-grade finish
Pre-Coated Components vs Weld-Then-Coat
Hidden raw joints and untreated areas can become the weak point. We coat before assembly for full coverage.
Others
- Weld first, then coat after
- Coating cannot reach inside joints
- Trapped contaminants can start corrosion from inside
- Welding heat can damage coating integrity
Globus Gates
- Powder coating before assembly
- Every piece coated 360° inside and out
- No hidden raw aluminum or untreated areas
Engineered Frame System vs Slat-Based Systems
Slats should create the look. The frame should carry the load. That difference matters over time.
Others
- Rely on slats for structure
- No full frame support
- Over time: sagging, movement, and failure
Globus Gates
- Full engineered frame with top, bottom, and vertical support
- Internal bracing system on HD frame
- Load is distributed, not dependent on slats alone
Universal System vs Fixed Basic Designs
Real projects are not always perfect. A flexible system gives contractors more ways to solve field conditions.
Others
- Limited configurations
- Hard to adjust or customize
- One-size-fits-all approach
Globus Gates
- Universal engineered system
- Flexible configurations for gates, fences, and cladding
- Built to adapt to real-world conditions
.125” Structural Aluminum vs Thin Wall Systems
The wall thickness affects the feel, strength, rigidity, and long-term performance of the system.
Others
- Thin material with more flex
- Denting, instability, and weaker feel
- Not designed for real structural stress
Globus Gates
- Heavy-duty .125” wall thickness
- Structural-grade aluminum profiles
- Built for real outdoor conditions
6063-T6 vs Unknown Aluminum
Not all aluminum is equal. Known grade, known performance, and consistent finishing make the difference.
Others
- Mixed or unknown aluminum sources
- Lower consistency and lower confidence
- Harder to verify strength, finish, and quality
Globus Gates
- 6063-T6 architectural-grade aluminum
- Clean billet sourcing
- Better consistency for coating and fabrication
Non-Combustible vs Flammable Materials
For wildfire-prone areas, the material at the perimeter matters. Aluminum gives contractors a safer material direction.
Others
- Wood or composite systems
- Can ignite in wildfire conditions
- Higher risk at the property perimeter
Globus Gates
- Non-combustible aluminum systems
- Suitable material direction for Zone 0 applications
- Clean, modern look without combustible wood
Custom Fabrication vs Pre-Made Kits
High-end projects should not be forced into a box. Custom fabrication means the system is made for the opening.
Others
- Pre-sized kits
- Forced to fit your opening
- Limited flexibility for real jobsite conditions
Globus Gates
- Made-to-order systems
- Built specifically for your project
- Factory-direct fabrication support
Framed Gates vs Frameless Slat Gates
A gate without a real frame is just a fence panel on hinges. The frame is what protects the system from sagging.
Others
- Slats are often used as the main structure
- No full perimeter frame to carry the gate load
- Higher chance of sagging, twisting, and misalignment over time
- Hinges may pull against weak or unsupported sections
Globus Gates
- Every gate is built with a structural aluminum frame
- Frame carries the weight instead of the slats
- Better hinge support, alignment, and long-term rigidity
- Cleaner, stronger build for pedestrian and driveway gates
Give your company better systems to sell, install, and stand behind.
Globus Gates gives contractors factory-direct access to architectural aluminum systems, contractor pricing, manufacturing knowledge, and materials built for modern jobsites.
