Anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances aluminium’s natural durability and beauty to achieve cladding of the highest quality. Our bright anodized aluminium profiles are corrosion-resistant, UV-resistant and more durable than other cladding alternatives. The chemical brightening of aluminium with AluNature means timeless beauty for you.

The result is bright, almost white, silver anodized aluminium facade panels with the following benefits:

  • Light weight panels, making construction easier
  • Nonbrittle, resistant to cracking and chipping
  • High solar reflectivity, keeping cities cool
  • Low in maintenance, easy to clean
  • Expected lifespan of more than 80 years
In nature, white is often an illusion

In nature, white is often an illusion

The polar bear is a well known example. Its fur is not actually white. Each hair is translucent and reflective, scattering light so efficiently that it appears bright white to the human eye. Snowflakes behave in a similar way. Ice itself is transparent, but when light reflects and scatters across countless small surfaces, we perceive it as white.

This principle of reflection rather than pigmentation is what creates the impression of whiteness in many natural materials.

Applying the same principle in anodized aluminium

Applying the same principle in anodized aluminium

At Alumet, we apply a similar principle through brightened anodized aluminium. Instead of using pigments or coatings, the aluminium surface reflects and diffuses light. The result is a bright, almost white appearance created purely through reflection.

Our AluNature brightened anodized aluminium profiles and panels achieve this effect through chemical brightening combined with anodizing. The surface remains metallic and natural, while appearing bright and white under daylight.

Made possible through AluNature

Recycled aluminium enhances the white appearance

Recycled aluminium enhances the white appearance

Our brightened anodized aluminium can be produced with up to 90% recycled aluminium. Subtle variations in the recycled material interact with the brightening process, helping scatter light across the surface and enhancing the perceived whiteness of the finish.

Combined with anodizing, this creates a bright, reflective façade surface while reducing embodied carbon, without compromising the durability and performance of aluminium.

Reflect your vision without compromise

  • Panels that weigh less

    Panels that weigh less

    The low weight of brightened anodized aluminium has many advantages, enabling more slender profiles, delicate detailing and larger spans.

  • Reflective and cool

    Reflective and cool

    White looking anodized aluminium keeps buildings cool, not because of its bright silver colour, but  due to the high solar reflectivity of anodizing the material.

  • Low maintenance

    Low maintenance

    In our anodizing process we take great pride in pre-sealing and sealing the aluminium to protect the panels and profiles from damage during construction or bird droppings. The way we seal our brightened anodized aluminium makes it easy to clean.

Powder coating

  1. Heavy, thicker than anodized aluminium.
  2. Can wear and scratch more easily.
  3. Durable but not easily recyclable.
  4. Less suitable for hot environments.
  5. More cost-effective

Anodizing by Alumet

  • Lightweight, enabling easier installation.
  • Thinner profiles, enabling more possibilities and details in your design
  • Resistant to impact, scratching, chipping and cracking damage.
  • Heath tolerance, suitable for every environment.
  • UV-stable, consistent colour uniformity in batches.

 

Brightened aluminium in practice

Some façades define a colour. Others reveal how colour is perceived. At Lyght, light itself becomes the material, shifting, reflecting, and transforming the building throughout the day. What appears white at first glance is, in fact, something far more nuanced.
