Why Metalwork Quality Matters Here

  • Salt air corrosion — cheap metal rusts in months. We use marine-grade aluminum and hot-dip galvanized steel.
  • Hurricane codes — windows and shutters must meet Quintana Roo wind load requirements. We test and certify.
  • Thermal efficiency — thermally broken aluminum frames reduce A/C costs by 15–20% in tropical heat.
  • Security — proper iron gates and reinforced frames deter break-ins. Essential for vacation properties left empty.
  • Insurance requirements — many insurers require hurricane shutters for coastal coverage.

What corrodes first, and why it is never the steel you see

On this coast failure starts at the joints and fixings: an ordinary galvanised bolt in a stainless assembly, a weld that was never cleaned of flux, or a coating applied over mill scale. Salt finds those points, and rust travels outward from them while the visible surface still looks intact. That is why specification matters more than the metal itself, and why two railings that look identical behave very differently in year four.

Coatings that survive here

Hot-dip galvanising then electrostatic powder coating is the durable combination for structural and exterior work. Marine-grade stainless is right for beachfront railings, pool-adjacent fittings and anything within reach of spray. Powder-coated aluminium suits lighter items where weight and corrosion both matter. Ordinary paint over untreated steel is a two-season solution sold at a one-season price.

What we fabricate

Railings and balustrades, gates and automatic gate structures, security bars designed not to look like security bars, pergola and canopy structures, staircases and treads, window grilles, and structural steel for openings and mezzanines. Fabrication happens in the workshop, with fitting on site, so the noisy work does not happen in an occupied house.

Prices

Ranges for the Riviera Maya, fabricated and installed. Design complexity and finish drive the range far more than the weight of metal does.
