At Get Bent Metal Fabrication LTD, we work with all kinds of metal—steel, stainless, and aluminum—but not all materials are created equal. Aluminum might not be the heaviest or the flashiest, but when it comes to certain jobs, it’s the smart choice. Lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to work with, aluminum offers a ton of benefits for the right application—and we’ve seen those applications pop up all over Kelowna. Why Choose Aluminum? The biggest advantage aluminum has going for it is weight. Compared to steel, it’s much lighter, which makes it perfect for projects where weight is a factor—like gates, railings, and outdoor structures. It’s also naturally corrosion-resistant, meaning you don’t have to worry about rust, even in Kelowna’s four-season climate. And with TIG welding, aluminum can be shaped and joined cleanly, creating strong and great-looking results. Common Applications We See in Kelowna Aluminum Fabrication We get calls for aluminum fabrication from all over the Okanagan, for all kinds of jobs. Some of the most common uses include:
When Aluminum Beats Steel
There are plenty of times where steel is the better choice—it's stronger, heavier, and sometimes the best option for structural jobs. But if you’re dealing with weight restrictions, weather exposure, or want something that won’t require ongoing maintenance, aluminum wins. It’s especially popular in residential applications where long-term appearance matters just as much as performance.
