Our ISO and Qualanod* accreditations.
*QUALANOD is a quality label organisation committed to maintaining and promoting the quality of anodised aluminium and its alloys for architectural applications worldwide. United Anodisers is one of the longest-serving continuously licenced Qualanod Licences.
To determine whether or not anodising meets a customer's requirements, the results need to be measurable against technical specifications. On behalf of customers who have products anodised, QUALANOD defines comprehensive quality requirements and monitors their compliance by licensed plants world-wide. As a result, purchasers of anodised aluminium receive a premium-grade product delivering long-term value with good quality. In past years QUALANOD has consequently made a great contribution to assuring the quality of aluminium parts used in architecture.
The Quality Control Stages
It is crucial that all stages of the anodising production process are tightly controlled, as each one can affect visual appearance and/or durability.

Experience & Product Development
Our experience has made us one of the leading anodisers in the market, with decades of product and process development culminating in the diverse range of products and finishes we offer today.
Jigging
The Etching Process
The initial building anodised using the then-new Anolok II process was the Park Road building in Uxbridge, still looking great today
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.
The Anodising Stage
Consistency
The Colouring Stage
This gives optimum colour control without an equivalent in the industry and ensures consistency of the overall building appearance.
The Sealing Process
Testing
Improving anodic film performance
Qualanod
We have been members of Qualanod, the European Quality Control Scheme, since its introduction in the mid-70s. We were one of the first 10 licence holders and have maintained a continuous licence throughout; Qualanod uniquely performs physical, random, unannounced independent inspections of licensee sites—a true test of contract compliance.
The care we take with our quality control has real benefits to the end user. These quality procedures enable us to guaranteeall our finishes for durability. Copies of the design lifetime of façade guarantees are available on request.

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,
