About the sector

The field of architecture plays a crucial role in the planning and design of structures, turning dreams into reality. With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, architects continuously seek methods to develop environmentally friendly structures while keeping costs low. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) highlights that architects face significant pressure to minimise costs due to rising project expenses and planning challenges.

Aluminium and Anodising in the Architectural Sector

With the drive for sustainable projects and methods of working, aluminium and anodising play a crucial role in these efforts. Aluminium, known for its exceptional recyclability, low maintenance, and long-term performance, offers environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions. When combined with anodising, the anodised layer becomes fully integrated with the metal substrate rather than being a surface film. The result is pure aluminium, a material that can be easily and repeatedly recycled, possessing impressive performance characteristics, which makes it the perfect choice for architectural applications.

Durable

Pure anodised aluminium offers numerous advantages to various industries, particularly in projects requiring corrosion-resistant and durable aluminium. This material helps protect against a range of weather conditions, including rain and sunlight, as well as different environments such as marine and desert areas where exposure to saltwater and sand is a concern.

In addition to its protective properties, pure aluminium also meets a key requirement for architects and the broader society - sustainability. This means that the material is fully recyclable, requires minimal maintenance, and is highly durable

We offer specialised guidance and insights into the anodising process, recognising its significant impact on crucial outcomes, including colour, material thickness, surface finish, tolerances, and fit. Our wealth of knowledge empowers customers to address critical considerations that are often overlooked until they become issues in later project stages.

I am extremely pleased and proud to confirm that we successfully handed over the above project on time and with our client, Overbury plc, making the statement that our installation was ‘stunning!’

John Pretty, Director - Metalwork Services Limited

The subtle mix of gold anodised shades adds to this eye-catching transformation, which compliments the surrounding buildings and makes it the focal point of this busy Leeds thoroughfare. A great effort from everyone involved.

Charlie McLaughlin, Sotech Specification Manager

The project looks fabulous, and the challenging pressings are very consistent in fact looking as close as I could get I could not see any noticeable difference pressing to pressing.

Blackfriars Gate Hull, Viktor Petrov, DLA

A close relationship with United Anodisers has allowed us to understand the complex Anolok process. For instance, we understand where to jig to prevent ruining the anodising effect. The result?, A smooth client experience.”

This was the first anodised project that I was involved in. Collaboration between Sotech A2O Cladding and United Anodisers enabled us to produce colours in one batch, which also accounted for the smooth delivery of the project.

How to clone into other project?

  • Press "Ctrl + E" or "Cmd + E" in the Designer and enable "Select on-page element".

  • Search for the class named, "Cloneable Area".

  • Copy the element inside this container to your own project.

  • Rename the classes accordingly if they are clashing with your project.

  • Ensure custom code from the in-page setting has been copied into your project as well (if there's any).

  • 'Page Trigger' interaction can't be copied directly. You can only clone the whole project, or rebuild it.
    A simple trick to copy the 'Page Trigger' interaction into another project is as below:

    1. Create a dummy element.
    2. Apply any type of 'Element trigger' into the dummy element and select the 'Page Trigger' animation.
    3. Copy the dummy element with the animations applied into your new project.
    4. The animation should have been copied into your project and you can reapply the 'Page Trigger' animation into your project.

  • If you have further inquiry or need assistance, feel free to contact us.

  • Lastly, please do not copy this project and claim it as your own. We wish to continue sharing and giving to the community. In order to do so, we will need your cooperation and full support. Thank you very much,
