Uniformity of colour.
Full consistency of colour and finish.
We offer the widest range of architecturally approved anodised colours and finishes anywhere in the world.
Our experience and skill means we have been able to demonstrate consistency of tone and quality across thousands of projects over half a century, no matter how vast the façade or number of batches of anodising required to complete the job.
50 years of experience
We are able to offer consistent finishes with even the most complex finishes thanks to decades of experience.
Integral finish
Paint and powder coatings use multiple layers of materials for their finishes which can vary in tone and thickness. That is not the case with anodised aluminium which is integral to the metal.

Long-term colour stability
The electrochemical nature of anodising means colour is locked into the oxide layer itself. This ensures colours are uniform and do not fade, peel or chalk unevenly over time.
Controlled immersion process
Anodising is a tightly controlled immersion process which enables skilled operatives to achieve a uniform finish on every part of the aluminium, no matter the shape or texture. This avoids the risk of localised high coating thickness or the orange peel effect that can occur with applied finishes.
Colour depth and clarity
Because the anodic layer is transparent and integral to the metal, colour is perceived through the surface giving a richness and consistency of tone that is uniform across varying viewing angles and light conditions.
Authentic lustre
Our finishes enhance the aluminium, retaining its authentic lustre and sheen naturally.

Fade-free and UV-stable coloured finishes.
Bringing your design to life now is one thing, but what about the future? Our organic colour finishes are integral to the metal and UV-stable in all circumstances, guaranteeing consistency over their lifespan. Our Anolok® Bronze and Anolok® Blue-Grey ranges go even further and are completely fade-free. View all of our colours.
For architects, that ensures your vision will continue to stand out decades into the future. Organic powder coatings cannot offer this guarantee as they are always subject to fading in varying degrees over the lifetime of a building.
For architects who design with legacy in mind, anodised aluminium is the clear choice.
