About us
United Anodisers Ltd have been at the forefront of architectural automotive and industrial anodising for over 60 years at our bespoke-designed process plant in Yorkshire. We exceed industry standards and offer an industry-leading warranty that does not require cleaning or maintenance of installed facades.
We offer expert advice on selecting the appropriate grade of aluminium and anodising treatment for any given application, whether architectural, automotive, design, or industrial.

Pure Aluminium
We offer “Pure aluminium” finishes. The anodic film is not an applied coating but a controlled growth of the naturally occurring oxide film.Thus, the finished natural anodised product has no added elements. Coloured finishes have a small addition of colour within the pores of the anodic film, but the presence is so insignificant that at the end of life, anodised coloured material can be recycled as pure aluminium.
Aluminium is a sustainable metal that allows endless recycling. This, allied to high structural strength for any given weight, ductility and formability, supports endless opportunities for design and creativity. We are dedicated to remaining at the forefront of technical innovations in anodising. As our UnaTex™,UnaPol™ and CopaLok™.
Our History
United Anodisers Ltd was formed in 2007 from the integration of two major independent anodisers in the UK architectural finishing market, LHT Anodisers Ltd and Heywood Metal Finishers Ltd.
The combined strengths of the two companies make United Anodisers Ltd the company it is today, the largest independent anodising company in the UK, with a capability to anodise over 2 million sq m of high-quality anodised products per annum.
At the main Huddersfield site, the architectural anodising plant, established in 1961, has flourished over the last six decades through relentless improvement and investment. This dedication has not only Increased capacity but also enhanced consistency and quality, embracing the latest technology and instrumentation to reach new heights.

We partner with professionals across various sectors, providing tailored advice on design and specifications. Ensuring each project benefits from our durable, environmentally friendly, sustainable, A1Fire-rated, UV stable extensive range of finishes. Our mission is to provide consistent, high-quality anodising solutions that exceed expectations in choice, longevity, quality of finish, and fire resistance.

We've come along way.
Plant
The sizes given here are approximate and depend on dimensions of materials required. Please contact our technical department to discuss your specific requirements.
Please note that where formed sheet is to be used, it is important that advice and agreement should be sought from our technical department at the design stage to ensure that sizes, joining methods, etc. are optimised to give best results
Materials
Although all grades of aluminium can be anodised, there are specific features relevant to many of the grades. For high-quality architectural products, we would recommend extruded material specified from 6063/6060 aluminium extrusions. For fabricated products, i.e., rain screen panels, we would recommend AQ-certified products such as Novellis J57sUP and Aluminium Duffel 55HX for any sheet requirements.
Expanded mesh is a bespoke product generally using 1050 H14 and is widely used for car park cladding.

How to clone into other project?
Press "Ctrl + E" or "Cmd + E" in the Designer and enable "Select on-page element".
Search for the class named, "Cloneable Area".
Copy the element inside this container to your own project.
Rename the classes accordingly if they are clashing with your project.
Ensure custom code from the in-page setting has been copied into your project as well (if there's any).
'Page Trigger' interaction can't be copied directly. You can only clone the whole project, or rebuild it.
A simple trick to copy the 'Page Trigger' interaction into another project is as below:
1. Create a dummy element.
2. Apply any type of 'Element trigger' into the dummy element and select the 'Page Trigger' animation.
3. Copy the dummy element with the animations applied into your new project.
4. The animation should have been copied into your project and you can reapply the 'Page Trigger' animation into your project.If you have further inquiry or need assistance, feel free to contact us.
Lastly, please do not copy this project and claim it as your own. We wish to continue sharing and giving to the community. In order to do so, we will need your cooperation and full support. Thank you very much,
