If people disagree, get maintenance-free, longtime smart looks with Al in a salt-blown location, I'll change my belief. AFAIK, Scandinavian-grade timber windows with factory opaque stain finish (no Al facings) stay smart longest by the sea - and can be re-finished at quite long intervals.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=14817&Focus=310295#Comment_310295 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=14817&Focus=310295#Comment_310295 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:06:33 +0000 WillInAberdeen
Aluminium is a bit awkward to fasten as it is too soft to use for satisfactory screws, so has to be fastened with a different material like stainless steel and eventually they corroded each other. Got to keep it away from anything copper or brass.

But I have a few aluminium masts from about 1970 I think so with the right treatment it can last.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=14817&Focus=310296#Comment_310296 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=14817&Focus=310296#Comment_310296 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:25:18 +0000 fostertom
