pure alum wont rust even when you put them into salt water
but as for corrodes, it depends on to the design and also the thickness of it |

I would go for the timber blinds as they're so
natural looking and cool [they dont heat up as does metal & alloy]. Their lifespan in our weather depends on what species is utilised. Hardwoods like chengal, balau, belian and teak are top choice for outdoor hardiness. Plus the grain is so attractive and soothing to the eye. The end choice is up to you, good luck! |
