The Key to a Durable Finish is in the Anodizing.

Making your project aesthetically pleasing and beautiful is a top priority that Apex achieves through the incredibly precise and constant process of anodizing. Anodization is a multi-step procedure that produces a strong, corrosive resistant, weather hardy finish, that will not fade, chip or peel.

An important step in the anodization technique is the Acid Etch process, which removes contaminates from the aluminum to provide a clean, smooth surface. Acid Etching will minimize, if not eliminate, surface defects such as die lines, shadow lines, flow lines and even surface scratches, allowing for LEED compliant billets to be used without compromising on finish quality.

Apex offers anodization in an array of colours, including clear (Class I & II), champagne, bronze & black (Class I), giving you more creative freedom. Unlike wet coat paint, anodizing provides a durable zero VAC finish meeting specifications required to achieve LEED certification.
