Aluminum with character: how to choose the perfect color for your project?

The color of an aluminum profile is not just aesthetics, it is the mood of the space, an accent that either complements the architecture or shapes it. The choice depends not only on taste, but also on the type of surface treatment. Here is a brief summary of what and why:
AnodizingAn electrochemical treatment that creates an oxide film on the surface of aluminum. It is not paint, but a part of the metal that protects, shines, and does not age.The most popular colors are: Natural silver• Champagne• Bronze (light/dark)• Black• Gold
Anodizing has its advantages and disadvantages. The first include:Metallic matte shine• Maximum durability• Does not crack, does not peel
The main disadvantage is that there is only a limited palette of colors.Anodizing is mostly used in facades, windows, doors and office partitions.
Powder coating (according to RAL palette)The paint is applied as a dry powder and baked in an oven. You can choose any color from over 200 RAL shades. Choose to the fullest!Powder coating allows for a variety of textures (matte, gloss, satin) and effects (textured and metallic), as well as the possibility of double-sided painting (i.e., different colors inside and outside).The main advantages of powder coating include resistance to scratches and ultraviolet rays and a perfectly smooth or textured surface.Powder coating is most often used for painting windows, facades, doors and interior systems.
Texture imitation (sublimation printing)Decorative lamination, which allows you to “transfer” the texture of wood, stone or concrete to aluminum.Popular decors among customers are golden oak, walnut, wenge, mahogany, gray wood, anthracite with texture.
And of course, there are certain advantages of imitating the texture of aluminum, namely:• The appearance really resembles the texture of wood, which is difficult to distinguish from the real thing• Additional protective layer• Service life 10–15 years
Most often, customers choose this type of aluminum coating for private houses, terraces, and country properties.
Special effectsSpecial effects should be highlighted as a separate segment for those looking for a non-standard solution. 
The most popular are:
Metallic (glossy/matte)
• Soft Touch (gentle velvety surface)
• Anti-graffiti
• Antique (aged metal effect)
