When it comes to aluminium, the term mill finish often surfaces in discussions about natural, untreated metal. But what is it, and how can it be used?

In today’s world, sustainability is at the forefront of architectural and design decisions, and choosing materials to support this has never been more important. At Alanod, we specialise in supplying several advanced metal surfaces that not only enhance aesthetics but also reinforce the principles of green building and design.

As an advanced surface treatment, PVD creates an ultra-thin yet robust layer that bonds at an atomic level, ensuring maximum performance without adding bulk. Its durability, wear resistance and aesthetics have revolutionised how materials are protected and finished.

As a leading specialist in solar absorber surfaces, we have proudly refined a collection of high-quality, low-thermal emissivity coatings and surfaces for many applications. Offering industry-leading absorption performance, these products provide rates of up to 97% and emission rates as low as 4%.

In an ever-evolving world of architectural and product design, materials that combine functionality with aesthetics are highly sought after – our advanced DECO PRIME® range offers an excellent solution. Highly innovative, high-performance and customisable, these decorative metal surfaces can be tailored to the unique demands of your project.

Widely used across many industries, anodised aluminium boasts enhanced durability, resistance to corrosion and aesthetic appeal. Through a process known as anodisation, the aluminium surface is transformed into a tough, protective layer, improving its performance and longevity.

Aluminium composite material has become a versatile, durable solution widely used across many industries. Known for its lightweight structure, strength, and aesthetic flexibility, aluminium composite material offers a unique combination of aluminium sheets and a thermoplastic core. In this article, we’ll explore the many applications of the material and why it has become a go-to resource for both functional and creative projects.

In the fight against climate change, reducing carbon footprint has become a priority for industries and consumers alike. Among many materials that contribute to our everyday products, aluminium stands out for its versatility, durability and, most importantly, its endless potential for recycling.

One-third the density of steel, highly durable and incredibly lightweight, aluminium offers a wealth of benefits that make the material an ideal choice for automotive production. However, in more recent years, the most attractive traits of aluminium have shifted to its sustainability potential and wide use in the manufacturing of electric vehicles.

Tradition, innovation, and technology leadership connect both companies. The shared end markets in the field of aluminium surface processing provide an excellent basis for the development of system solutions. Customers will benefit from this.
