Finishes

All our finishes are backed by our Transferable Lifetime warranty and are designed to reduce Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions. Rather than simply applying a standard coating, our anodizing process alters the surface chemistry of the aluminum to produce a hard, durable finish with exceptional longevity and resistance to coastal corrosion. Additionally, our Kynar 500 paint stands as an industry leader in superior pigment retention and long-lasting color vitality. Together, this inherent resilience supports long-term performance, reduces the need for recoating, and contributes to more sustainable lifecycle outcomes.

Coastal Resiliency

Aluminum’s natural oxide coating makes our products corrosion-resistant, even to salt, air, and water exposure. When finished with anodizing or high-performance paint, it thrives in harsh coastal environments with minimal maintenance. Salt-resistant hardware includes dual-point lock, carriers, hinges, and all locking components in stainless steel.
