Aluminum Anodizing  

Light and medium bronze anodized finishes can be a beautiful and lasting finish choice for aluminum. Specifiers often choose them because when handled correctly, they are of surpassing beauty. But because expectations can run high for these finishes, light and medium bronze can also become a nightmare for the anodizer, the specifier, and the building owner. These colors are subject to severe color variation from piece to piece.
