Single Gate & Infill Panels – 65mm Pearl White Aluminium Slats Balcatta

A clean, modern upgrade completed in Balcatta using 65mm pearl white aluminium slats with 10mm gaps. The client wanted a front gate solution that matched their rendered brick pillars, but a full-width single gate would have been heavy and awkward to use long-term.

To keep the look balanced and lightweight, we installed one single aluminium slat gate with two matching fixed infill panels on either side. That gave the same visual width and street appeal, without creating a heavy gate to open and close every day. The panel layout keeps everything symmetrical, tidy and secure.

We also installed aluminium slat fence infills between the rendered brick pillars, replacing an older style setup with a sleek, modern aluminium finish. The pearl white slats brighten the façade and tie in neatly with the existing home colours. There’s plenty of airflow through the 10mm gaps, while still offering privacy and a contemporary street frontage.
