Aluminium in architecture
Aluminium deserves a surface coating that reinforces its natural character and preserves the beauty of the matt metal surface.
Anodised surfaces from BWB protect aluminium against weathering influences for decades and make it a resistant material for façades and windows. Thanks to unique coating processes, which BWB continuously perfects, the highest colour fastness and weathering resistance can be guaranteed.
Anodising aluminium:
- provides long-term protection against weathering influences
- emphasises its natural structure
- refined in various natural shades – from discreet tinting to intensive colouring
- guarantees highest colour and light fastness
- enables an energy-efficient building envelope
- means a low maintenance effort
- offers additional effects with grinding and brushing
- conserves resources: can be dismantled into individual components and 100% recyclability
The decorative colouring enables a wide range of colours. Please find our colours and colour designations below.
