Aluminium Driveway Gates

At the centre of this project are two beautifully preserved sandstone pillars—remnants of the original architecture that lend a sense of heritage and solidity to the entrance. Rather than replacing these character-rich features, the new gate installation was designed to complement them. The choice of aluminium, finished in a deep matte-black powder coat, provides a sharp contrast that enhances the natural tones and textures of the sandstone, creating a visually balanced, striking entryway.

Aluminium is an increasingly popular material for driveway gates due to its corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and strength. The powder-coat finish adds not just aesthetic appeal but also an extra layer of protection against Glasgow’s famously unpredictable weather, ensuring the gate remains pristine for years to come.
