aluminum frames
Light metal structures
Aluminum frames are structural supports made from aluminum, typically for bicycles, windows, doors, or eyeglasses.
The material offers a balance of light weight and durability: The bike's aluminum frame keeps it under twenty pounds.
In cycling, aluminum frames are cheaper than carbon fiber but stiffer than steel.
Window and door frames of aluminum resist corrosion and require little maintenance.
