Cast Aluminum
is the predominent material being used for ornamental site lighting
today. Although, pound for pound, aluminum is more expensive than iron,
its light weight allows for easier installation which translates into
dollar savings.
Unlike many cast aluminum manufacturers, our posts
are produced from the highest quality alloy (ASTM 356.2). This alloy
has the lowest amount of copper content and a higher amount of aluminum
and magnesium which provides for better strength and corrosion resistance.
Our posts are manufactured in permanent molds rather
than the "sand casting" molds used by many other manufacturers.
Greater strength, detail, and uniformity are achieved through this process.
If the budget is tight, a cast aluminum base can
be combined with an extruded aluminum straight shaft which makes for
a highly economical assembly.
Cast aluminum posts provide a rich appearance that
will enhance any hardscape without sacrificing strength or durability.
