Features & Benefits
Natural anodising allows for durable, colourful and corrosion resistant aluminium suitable for various applications. In addition to the general anodising benefits, natural anodising is the least expensive anodic finish and is normally cheaper than PPC.
Natural Anodising Process
Natural anodising is the uncoloured anodic film which is transparent and shows the appearance of the underlying metal. In the case of architectural anodising this is a standard matt etched finish.
Textured Anodising Process
We can anodise and finish different textures to give designers free reign of expression for their projects.

Our History.
Natural anodising is an original anodic finish initially used in the 1930s for corrosion protection in marine and aviation applications involving Duralumin. It was the primary architectural finish until the 1970s and remained popular in recent years. Natural anodising is back in fashion.
