Anodized aluminum is created by an electrochemical process that thickens and toughens the naturally occurring protective oxide.

Anodized aluminum products have an extremely long life span and offer significant economic advantages through maintenance and operating savings. Scars and wear from fabrication, handling, installation, frequent surface dirt cleaning and usage are virtually non-existent. Rinsing or mild soap and water cleaning usually will restore an anodized surface to its original appearance.

Anodized Aluminum offers a large number of gloss and color alternatives and minimizes or eliminates color variations. Unlike other finishes, anodizing allows the aluminum to maintain its metallic appearance.

Stainless steel is essentially a low-carbon content steel that contains 10% or more chromium by weight. It is the addition of chromium that gives steel its unique long-lasting, corrosion-resistant stainless properties.

Stainless steel's easy cleaning maintenance makes it the first choice for strict hygiene conditions such as found in hospitals, kitchens, abattoirs and other food processing plants. Stainless steel's bright, easily maintained surface provides a modern look and attractive appearance. When overall product life-cycle costs are considered, stainless is often the least expensive material option.
