Anodised Aluminium: Architectural Finish with Enduring Performance

Choosing the right anodised aluminium finish can be challenging, from colour and texture to durability and sustainability, there’s much to consider. At NES, our AnoAli range delivers refined, long-lasting finishes with exceptional performance and timeless architectural appeal.

Anodised Aluminium: Architectural Finish with Enduring Performance
Anodising elevates aluminium beyond its raw industrial form, transforming it into a high-performance architectural material with exceptional durability and design versatility, at NES we have our own AnoAli range (www.anoali.com) of anodised aluminium finishes. Our range is achieved through a controlled electrochemical process, the surface of the aluminium is converted into a robust oxide layer, integral to the metal itself rather than applied on top, this creates a finish that will not peel, flake or chip, offering long-term resilience against weathering, UV exposure and environmental pollutants.

A Legacy of Finish, Guaranteed for Generations

The result is a refined, tactile surface available in a range of tones and textures, from natural silver and bronze through to deep black or bespoke colour-matched finishes, we provide a 20 year guarantee on all colours Qualanod and a 40 year guarantee on all colours BS 3987, with an expected lifespan of more than 80 years.
