The building envelope marries transparent and opaque glazed units with custom perforated and recessed anodised aluminium panels, finished in a palette of five carefully matched shades. The anodised finish was delivered to the demanding z33 standard, ensuring each visible aluminium surface met strict durability and consistency requirements.
Elizabeth Tower features panels finished in Anolok II Blue Grey and Anolok Bronze anodised aluminium, both chosen for their fade-free colour stability and proven resistance to erosion and corrosion in demanding urban conditions. These finishes provide an authentic metallic sheen and exceptional long-term durability that enhances the architectural appeal of Manchester’s skyline. All anodised surfaces benefit from a 25-year guarantee, ensuring lasting visual performance and low maintenance for decades to come.
