Anodised aluminium was very popular in the early aluminium double glazing of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Whilst anodised aluminium is still very much available, it is fair to say powder coating is far more widespread today.
As homes become more contemporary in their design, so does the requirement for bolder and more dramatic colours such as metallic.
Commercially, anodised aluminium is still used for curtain walling, shopfronts and other forms of glazing where a metallic appearance is required. However powder coating can also provide great alternatives to anodised. Wth powder coated colours available in satin, gloss or matt for many years, they are now also available in metallic effect shades as well as textured and even wood effect finishes.
If you are a double glazing firm, whether an installer or a manufacturer and installer, it is worth exploring the current range colours available from Interpon or Tiger who are manufacturers of polyester powder.
