Material properties and areas of application
Anodised aluminium: The aluminium features an anodised finish that retains a uniform appearance during normal use.
Surface areas must be protected against abrasion or scratching. Aluminium is sensitive to alkaline media. Cementitious materials, in conjunction with moisture, become alkaline, which may result in corrosion depending on the concentration and length of exposure (aluminium hydroxide formation). Residue of adhesive, plaster or render should be removed immediately, especially from aluminium finishes.
Colour coated aluminium: The aluminium is pre-treated (chrome-plated) and powder-coated with a polyurethane covering. The coating is colour-stable, as well as UV- and weather-resistant. Visible edges should be protected against abrasion.
Textured finished aluminium: These finishes have a natural appearance (see colour coated aluminium for further properties).
