Overview

About the Architectural Features

4K Aluminum brings durability, looks and versatility to architectural features: over-the-pool water features, yard art, unique structural designs, TV walls and more.

Features are built from 4K Aluminum’s standard materials: extruded 6061-T6 posts and beams and 6063-T6 lattice, powder coated to AAMA 2604. The aluminum is solid yet lightweight, corrosion resistant, endlessly recyclable and formable into many designs. Posts, beams, lattice tubes and laser-cut Soleil™ panels add both function and character.

Eyebrows and awnings add character to a building while protecting against rain, snow, wind and UV rays, and 4K Aluminum stainless steel awning arms support architectural awnings.

FAQ

Architectural Features questions

All questions

What counts as an architectural feature?

Anything beyond a standard structure: over-the-pool water features, yard art, unique structural designs, TV walls, privacy walls, trellis, eyebrows and awnings. They’re built from 4K Aluminum posts, beams, lattice tubes and Soleil™ panels.

What are 4K Aluminum awning arms rated for?

Up to 4,200 lbs, with a factor of safety of 4.0. They come as complete stainless steel 304 assemblies in 24″, 36″, 48″ and 60″ lengths, adjust in the field with standard tools, and need only an annual inspection.

What colors are available?

Architectural features come in the five standard colors (Black, Espresso, Adobe Tan, Apollo Grey and Quartz White), with Warm Oak and Sandalwood wood finishes on 1″ × 4″ and 1″ × 6″ lattice. Awning arms come in Espresso and Black.

What are architectural features made of?

4K Aluminum’s standard materials: extruded 6061-T6 posts and beams and 6063-T6 lattice, powder coated to AAMA 2604, with laser-cut Soleil™ panels where the design calls for them. Each feature is designed for its project.

What does the warranty cover?

20 years against material defects; 20 years on the powder coat in 4K Aluminum standard colors; 10 years on wood sublimation finishes. Awning arms are warranted for 20 years. Custom colors are not covered, and exceptions apply; see the warranty terms.
