Surface finish condition is one of the key attributes of Aluminium, and these can be broadly defined as follows;
Mill Finish
The default position for most Aluminium rolled product is a cold rolled or hot rolled surface (thickness dependant) as produced by the manufacturer…or typically known as mill finish. We spend a lot of time & effort with our overseas manufacturers ensuring that the surface finish & shape condition we supply is first class and meets the exacting expectations of our market.
Coated products/Pre-treated
For architectural applications we offer a a range of PVDF, HDPE & PEcoatings which are factory-applied, and support a wide range of gloss levels & colours. They are most commonly used for architectural applications due to their superior resistance to weathering by sunlight, moisture, or temperature. Aluminium wall cladding, curtain wall, and roofing sheet are some other common applications for PVDF & HDPE coatings.
In addition to painted coatings, we can also offer a standard range of highly durable/ high corrosion resistant pre-anodised sheet from the manufacturer and/or anodised quality sheet suitable for anodising locally in the colour of your choice.
Mechanical Finishing
A polished finish being achieved via a mechanically abrasive process gives the aluminium surface a brushed or bright finish. However, while polishing produces a bright finished surface, linishing produces a matt finish for improved adhesion and/or reduced reflectivity and it can also remove blemishes from the surface if present. Different grades of finishing can be achieved by using different coarseness of media/grit.
Furthermore, in line with a global push for providing more “green” raw material supply options, many of our suppliers are now well down the path to achieving industry leading environmental & sustainability targets. Please contact us so we can discuss respective supplier’s “green credentials”.
