Aluminium products

Anodised aluminium is extremely durable as the anodising process helps to harden and coat the metal. As a result, this process creates a weather-resistant, tarnish-resistant surface that can remain like new for years, but over time anodised aluminium will begin to naturally scratch and fade like any other metal.

To offset these effects it is advisable to regularly clean the exposed surface periodically with a soft damp cloth, using warm water and mild detergent to remove the build-up of dirt.

Abrasive metal polishes should not be used as this may damage the anodised layer.
