| Strength & Load |
Meets municipal & commercial needs; suitable for medium-to-heavy loads; further testing available for extreme conditions. |
Excellent under heavy loads; risk of brittle cracks if material quality is poor. |
| Weight & Installation |
Lightweight, easy to handle, saves labor & transport costs. |
Heavy, requires machinery or more manpower, higher installation costs. |
| Anti-Theft & Safety |
No recycling value, theft-proof; optional anti-theft designs available. |
High resale value, frequent theft; requires costly locks or alarms. |
| Corrosion Resistance |
Resistant to chemicals, acid, alkali, salt spray; no rust, minimal maintenance. |
Prone to rust in coastal/chemical zones; continuous anti-corrosion treatment needed. |
| Temperature Range |
Stable from -40°C to +150°C; reliable in most climates. |
Can withstand heat but brittle in extreme cold; requires regular inspection. |
| Cost & ROI |
Higher initial price, but saves long-term on theft, corrosion & maintenance. |
Lower upfront cost, but higher lifecycle expenses due to theft and corrosion. |
| Environmental Impact |
Low energy use and carbon emissions; aligned with ESG and green policies. |
Recycling system mature, but smelting consumes high energy and emits more CO₂. |
| Design & Aesthetics |
Flexible customization of color, pattern, and logos; enhances modern cityscapes. |
Traditional, stable appearance; limited customization, higher cost for special finishes. |
