The role of anodising in art & design
The creative industries play a crucial role in making places and events memorable. Art, from statues and monuments to creative icons for events like the World Cup, Olympics, and Expos, leaves a lasting impact on communities.
Public art often reflects the values, history, and culture of a community, commemorating significant events, honouring local heroes, or celebrating cultural traditions. It can also serve as an educational tool, providing information about history, science, or local flora and fauna.
Aluminium and Anodising in the Art Sector
Cross-disciplinary collaborations between architects, artists, designers, engineers, and other professionals are increasingly common, expanding the creative possibilities. For projects involving aluminum, anodised aluminum opens up a world of creative potential.

Metalic Lustre & Texture
Anodising creates a translucent effect, allowing the aluminum’s natural metallic sheen to shine through, resulting in a deep, rich, and lustrous finish.
A1 Fire Rating
In projects with a high risk of fire, anodised aluminium is the ideal solution due to its A1 fire rating. This has led to United Anodisers' involvement in special projects such as the Olympics, where pyrotechnics, fireworks, and flames are utilised. Particularly notable is their involvement in the construction of the Olympic Cauldron in Abu Dhabi 2019, where the fire rating of the material was imperative due to the projection of flames from inside the cauldron.

How to clone into other project?
Press "Ctrl + E" or "Cmd + E" in the Designer and enable "Select on-page element".
Search for the class named, "Cloneable Area".
Copy the element inside this container to your own project.
Rename the classes accordingly if they are clashing with your project.
Ensure custom code from the in-page setting has been copied into your project as well (if there's any).
'Page Trigger' interaction can't be copied directly. You can only clone the whole project, or rebuild it.
A simple trick to copy the 'Page Trigger' interaction into another project is as below:
1. Create a dummy element.
2. Apply any type of 'Element trigger' into the dummy element and select the 'Page Trigger' animation.
3. Copy the dummy element with the animations applied into your new project.
4. The animation should have been copied into your project and you can reapply the 'Page Trigger' animation into your project.If you have further inquiry or need assistance, feel free to contact us.
Lastly, please do not copy this project and claim it as your own. We wish to continue sharing and giving to the community. In order to do so, we will need your cooperation and full support. Thank you very much,
