A rigorously controlled scientific process creates a durable, beautiful finish which does not degrade, corrode or fade over time. Only minimal cleaning is required to restore its appearance, even decades after installation, making it the ideal long-term choice for architects.

Our complete Anolok® range

Our Anolok® finishes have defined projects of all sizes across the globe. We offer a wide range of colours for sustainable, long-lasting anodised aluminium solutions.

Anolok® Bronze

Increasing the amount of cobalt deposited gives shades of bronze from pale bronze right through to black. Light scatter produces the colours and this method of production ensures that the colours obtained are completely fade-free.

Anolok® II Blue Grey

The extended range of grey colours, produced by the Anolok® II process, is the very latest development in colour anodising. By using light interference, a series of greys are produced which are fade free - the primary benefit of Anolok® anodising.

Transform your aluminium surfaces with our innovative Anolok® process, which electrolytically deposits cobalt to create a deep, vibrant black finish. This durable, fade-resistant coating is perfect for architectural and decorative applications.
