Foreword This booklet has been produced by the Aluminium Finishing Association in conjunction with a number of Industry experts including the CAB. It is intended as a generic guide to finishing of aluminium building products and references both National and European Standards. Introduction Architects invest a great deal of time ensuring their building has the required aesthetic appearance using colour and finish. Those that fail can not only lead to poor appearance but also client dissatisfaction, legal and often very high rectification costs. High quality aluminium finishes create good initial impact and long term protection hence overall satisfaction. Aluminium is used on window and door frames, cladding, curtain walling, hardware, drainage goods and in many other applications so the selection of the appropriate finish is vital. This guide aims to ensure architects and other specifiers understand the issues involved and achieve the finish and performance they require and expect. |
