Tightly spaced textured lines create primary and secondary patterns as light follows the contours of the lines. Texture is applied to black, white and silver aluminum surfaces creating subtle tone on tone effects.

### What are Mood Boards?

Mood boards feature aluminum finishes developed around themes, focusing on the use of mechanical process, color and texture to create surfaces which are our interpretation of trends in the market.   The finishes are inspirational, a starting point for creating a surface for your trim or nameplate application.
