Aluminium Pure finish by FSB

Ironmongery manufacturer FSB has introduced the Aluminium Pure finish for a selection of its fittings. This finish eliminates the final stages of aluminium processing: polishing and anodising or powder coating. Instead, ceramic pellets produce a distinctive finish and texture during the process of slide grinding. The aluminium finish is pleasant to touch due to its ability to adapt to ambient temperatures, and without an anodised finish, the surface gains a patina over time.
