The natural qualities of aluminum, movement and depth, are worked into modern finishes, contrasting and complementing a man-made fusion.  We re-explore traditional mechanical finishing, reflecting on the past for inspiration and improving on it with innovation and creativity. 

The *Connect* series embraces strictly repeated [engineered surfaces](https://www.norcorp.com/design-aluminum-surfaces-blog/bid/13487/Engineered-Mechanical-Finishes-on-Aluminum) which reflect technical precision in aluminum and layering. 

### 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.
