Aluminium

 

Aluminium is close to being the worlds ideal metal as it very light, soft and ductile in a lovely soft shade of grey.  It also has the ability to resist corrosion.  It is these qualities that have made aluminium such a popular choice in modern architecture.

 

Metalier’s aluminium metal finish

 

Metalier’s aluminium metal finishes will also resist corrosion.

 

They can be used to compliment  existing aluminium features as we can create a smooth and shiny finish like most moulded and extruded aluminium joinery, they can be left in a "raw"state to add interest, or they can even be textured to add the ultimate interest and wow factor.

Do you want something a little bit moody?

 

As the aluminium metal finish cannot take a patina and it won’t rust. You can, however, create a moody look by applying Metalier's  black wax to it. This can be on a smooth or  textured section. The wax can accentuate the “lows” of a texture to give it greater depth. The aluminium metal finish can be tinted by adding a little copper to create a warm grey. Add a lot of copper and the result will be a blush pink colour.
