Anodising

Anodising is a popular choice for architectural projects, and with good reason: that glowing matt sheen looks terrific on aluminium.

Anodising creates a dynamic finish as the brightness of the colour changes depending on the angle you're viewing it from. There are six colours available in the anodised finish. 

Note: when you are choosing your aluminium joinery colour, always assess the colour in natural light using an aluminium colour swatch. We are able to provide you with the colour swatch samples upon request.
