Multitude of finish options

Aluminum framing designs are available in a multitude of finish options.

• ANODIZING

  • AAMA 611 – CLASS I
    Class I anodic coating is a high-performance finish used for exterior building structures and other products that must withstand continuous outdoor exposure. Class I anodize is more resistant to salt spray and the sea coast, and it is more durable in high traffic areas.

• PAINTING [FLUORPOLYMER COATING [AAMA STANDARDS?]

  • 70% PVDF Kynar – AAMA 2605 Superior Performing Organic Coatings
  • 70% PVDF resin-based coatings are often referred to as Kynar or Kynar 500.  Kynar 500 is a registered trademark of Arkema Inc.  Hylar 5000 is a registered trademark of Solvay.  These coatings offer the best performance for outdoor exposure in terms of resistance to humidity, color change, chalk, and gloss retention.  The humidity and salt spray resistance is referred to as 4,000 hours of intense testing.  This is a long-lasting durable finish that withstands the harshness of nature and time.  No other coatings on aluminum are superior.

All finishing is done before fabrication to assure ultimate adhesion and finish quality, and stringent quality control guidelines are followed throughout the process.
