Finishes
This product readily accepts a vast range of medium and high-performance factory-applied painted and anodic finishes.
PAINTED: otherwise referred to as ‘organic’, painted finishes are popular because of the almost limitless range of colors available, and owing to the richness, durability and consistency offered.
Painted finishes should be specified to comply with AAMA 2603, 2604, and 2605 protocols.
ANODIZED: sometimes referred to as ‘hard-color’, anodized finishes are available in various grades and thicknesses of clear (silver or ‘natural’ in appearance), earth-tones (normally champagne, through bronzes, and to black), and exotic colors (blues, reds, etc -- rarely used because of economy and superior consistency of painted finishes).
Anodic finishes should be specified to comply with AAMA 611 and 612 protocols.
SPLIT-FINISHES:
This product readily accepts ‘split finishing’, allowing for non-matching interior and exterior colors.
WHY USE SPLIT-FINISHES?
- explore aesthetic expressions by using an accent color to exterior, while choosing a neutral color (white, off-white, cream, etc) to interior, to simplify interior decoration
- economize by choosing a high-performance finish to the exterior, where it is most critical; and choose a medium-performance finish to the interior, where high UV protection is less important
- mix anodic finishes with painted finishes
