What We Offer
Price offers Architectural Sulfuric Acid Anodizing in both Class I (greater than 0.7 mils or 18 micron thick coating) and Class II (between 0.4 and 0.7 mils or 10 – 18 micron thick coating).
Class I coating is a high performance finish used for outdoor or high wear applications while Class II is a commercial finish recommended for interior or light exterior applications.
Decorative coatings (between 0.2 - 0.4 mils or 5 - 10 microns) are also available and are recommended when no additional protection is necessary, or when finish appearance is the only consideration.
Benefits
-
Aesthetics
- Wide variety of gloss and color alternatives available and unlike other finishes, anodizing allows the aluminum to maintain its metallic appearance.
-
Durability
- Long life span as anodic layer is very hard and finish does not wear off as it is part of the metal itself.
-
Affordability
- Provides a lower cost alternative in both application and long term maintenance compared to painting or other finishing applications.
-
Ease of Maintenance
- Easy to clean with use of mild soap or abrasive cleaners without leaving scars or wear. Finish also resistant to staining.
-
Color Stability
- Exterior anodized coatings are very stable against ultraviolet rays and will not chip or peel. It is also easy to repeat the color of the finish.
