Should the sun room frame be made of steel structure or aluminum alloy structure?

2025,04,14

As people's living standards continue to improve, and foreign life concepts are constantly introduced, sunrooms are very environmentally friendly and close to the life concept of nature, so many friends have built sunrooms. The sunroom frame is an important factor affecting the service life of the sunroom. Many friends do not pay attention to the choice of the frame when building the sunroom. They follow the trend or let some door and window shops recommend it without consulting professional sunroom manufacturers, which leads to various problems in the sunroom in the later stage. At present, the most common sunrooms on the market should be steel structures and aluminum alloy structures. How should we choose?

Compared with aluminum alloy structures, steel structures have high strength, good overall rigidity, and strong resistance to deformation, so they are generally used to build large-span, ultra-high, and ultra-heavy buildings. Using steel structure as the sunroom frame can not only ensure that the sunroom has good firmness and stability, but also has a fully welded structure inside, and the sealing is also better.

However, after a long period of wind and rain, the surface material of the steel structure sunroom will oxidize and rust, which will affect the appearance and airtightness of the sunroom. Maybe one day when it rains heavily outside, your sunroom will become a water curtain cave. It will also greatly affect its stability, thereby reducing the service life of the sunroom. Therefore, it is necessary to remove rust, galvanize or paint in the later stage, and do regular maintenance. For those considering Sunrooms With Aluminum Windows, it's worth noting the alternative framing options available.

One of the characteristics of aluminum alloy is that a dense oxide film will form on the surface when it comes into contact with air. This film can prevent corrosion, so it has good corrosion resistance. Moreover, when the aluminum alloy structure is used as the frame of the sun room, the surface will also be treated with fluorocarbon paint electrophoresis technology to achieve comprehensive corrosion prevention, and it can be guaranteed not to rust or fade for 30 years. In addition, the ductility and processing performance of aluminum alloy are relatively good. The hot bending forming technology can be used to make various sun room shapes such as arc and hemispherical, no longer just square. If you are interested in an Aluminium Glass Solarium Sunroom, the versatility of aluminum allows for diverse designs.

Although the aluminum alloy structure can also bear the load of the steel structure and ensure the stability and firmness of the sun room; but its strength can never compete with the steel structure, and the maximum acceptable span is 10 meters. If you need to build a sun room with a larger span, you must carefully choose the aluminum alloy structure.

Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing the sun room frame, and avoid following the trend. If the span of the sun room is relatively small and you want it to be unique, an aluminum alloy structure is a good choice; if the span of the sun room is relatively large, it is recommended to choose a steel structure, but you must pay attention to the later maintenance. Do you prefer a steel structure or an aluminum alloy structure for your sun room design? If you need a Customized Aluminium Sunroom, please contact us.
