California’s new Zone 0 wildfire rules, adopted by the Board of Forestry in 2026, would bar new combustible fences within five feet of homes in high fire hazard areas. Under the state’s Safer from Wildfires program, noncombustible fences and gates near your home can also earn insurance discounts. Wood fencing can’t qualify. QuickScreen aluminum is non-combustible.
Aluminum is non-combustible. It will not ignite, adds no fuel to a fire, and will not carry flame along a fence line the way a wood fence does.
Aluminum fencing does not rust. Our QuickScreen fence also features an architectural grade AAMA 2604 finish that withstands salt spray and coastal moisture.
The powder coat finish is tested for color retention, humidity resistance, and salt spray resistance ideal for coastal conditions. Confidence backed by a 20-year powder coat finish warranty.
Aluminum is non-porous and does not absorb moisture. It will not rot, swell, crack, split, or support mold.
Choose from premium QuickScreen aluminum slat fences, double and single gate kits, along with various installation and security accessories.
QuickScreen’s 4″ square post and heavy-duty side frame system was designed specifically for severe weather environments, with wind loads engineered to ASCE 7-16 for basic wind speeds up to 170 mph. Whether it’s a hurricane in Florida or the Santa Ana winds in California, our aluminum fencing is designed to last.
Every system is modular. Slats lock in with a patented friction assembly, so a single damaged slat can be pulled and replaced without dismantling the run or removing the posts.
Explore Fence Panels View Technical DocumentsOur QuickScreen fence & gate kits assemble with a patented friction-fit system. Slats drop into the posts with snap-in aluminum spacers, no fixings required to secure them. That means a clean face with no visible hardware, and it means a hurricane-season repair can be as simple as a single slat instead of a full fence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminum is non-combustible. It will not ignite, adds no fuel to a fire, and will not carry flame along a fence line toward a structure the way a wood fence does.
