| Where we use it |
|
|
|
| Outdoors | A traditional exterior cladding metal. | Very well suited to external use, which is a large part of why it is specified for facades and louvres. | Suitable externally where a living, weathering surface is intended, or with a protective coating where it is not. |
| Finishes | 2: brushed & satin, patina | 5: hairline, brushed & satin, cast & relief, pvd & coatings, ombre | 16: mirror, hairline, brushed & satin, vibration, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, etched… |
| In short | The quietest metal we work with. | The metal that solves problems of weight and span. | The metal most often asked for by name. |
