Anodize Aluminum Paneling

WHATS IS ANODIZING?

 

It is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surfaces into decorative, durable, corrosion- resistance, anodic oxide finish.

     

DRI DESIGN

SLOGAN :

“NO SEALANTS, GASKETS OR BUTYL TAPE IN THE PANEL JOINTS MEAN NO DIRTY STREAKS OR MAINTENANCE.”

Anodize Aluminum Panels:

Overview:

Successfully combines science and nature to create a great form of metal finish. The dense surface of the Aluminum is created utilizing the natural oxidation process and adding electricity and chemical to enhance the process and well as the outcome. This Aluminum process bring out the natural variation in colors which is expected.
