Reflect your architectural vision with the endless possibilities Alumet provides in aluminum.

Anodized aluminum used in architecture requires little maintenance. The anodizing layer, composed of metal and aluminum oxide, is hard and robust. Maintenance simply means keeping it clean.

A clean anodized aluminum surface can easily last up to 80 years under normal conditions, without losing its shine or colour (in electrolytically coloured layers).

Alumet B.V. hereby declares that the anodising activities that it has performed meet the QUALANOD requirements, class 20 mu or 25 mu, which Alumet B.V. and the client had agreed upon in writing. This means that the anodised components will be free of any corrosion and will not contain any cracks, blisters or filiform corrosion. Corrosion on the unprotected and untreated cut will not affect the adjacent anodising layers. The natural and electrolytically coloured components will also not be subject to any discolouration when exposed to sunlight.

Qualanod is the quality label for anodising aluminum. It is an international quality label based on an extensive specification for both process and product requirements. Alumet is affiliated with Qualanod.
