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.

John Pretty, Director - Metalwork Services Limited

The subtle mix of gold anodised shades adds to this eye-catching transformation, which compliments the surrounding buildings and makes it the focal point of this busy Leeds thoroughfare. A great effort from everyone involved.

Charlie McLaughlin, Sotech Specification Manager

The project looks fabulous, and the challenging pressings are very consistent in fact looking as close as I could get I could not see any noticeable difference pressing to pressing.

Blackfriars Gate Hull, Viktor Petrov, DLA

A close relationship with United Anodisers has allowed us to understand the complex Anolok process. For instance, we understand where to jig to prevent ruining the anodising effect. The result?, A smooth client experience.”

This was the first anodised project that I was involved in. Collaboration between Sotech A2O Cladding and United Anodisers enabled us to produce colours in one batch, which also accounted for the smooth delivery of the project.
