Comprehensive comparison of WPC composite and aluminium fence systems: durability, maintenance, aesthetics and cost for gardens, pools and property boundaries.
Aluminium and WPC can both outperform untreated timber in exterior use, but UV stability, corrosion protection and service life depend on coating class, exposure and maintenance.
Aluminium: annual pressure wash — no painting. WPC: 1-2× yearly specialist cleaner. Timber: annual painting minimum.
Aluminium: 450+ RAL colours, slim profiles. WPC: best for wood-look, limited colours. Aluminium offers slat, bar, perforated, glass infill options.
Initial and long-term cost depend on profile, coating, installation, maintenance and local material prices. Aluminium can reduce repainting cycles, while WPC may have a lower first-cost in some projects.
