August 2018 Product Briefs: Cladding

Coil Anodized Aluminum

This aluminum cladding is said to deliver better than average durability because the anodizing process creates a hard layer of aluminum oxide. Immersing the aluminum in an electrochemical bath makes it porous, so that it absorbs dyes, but also hard, to resist abrasions. Suitable for use on facades, as part of a curtain wall system, or to wrap columns, the material is also sealed to resist stains and fading.
