Pattern Library

We're passionate about the design of patterns, textures and finishes and helping our customers understand the possibilities avialable in integrating them into decorative trim and nameplates. That means not only creating patterns that can be used as is or customized, but also regularly providing educational and informational content that breaks down and discusses how patterns are developed.

The pattern library represents a sampling of the thousands of finishes we offer on aluminum. We've organized the finishes into categories to help you find what you are looking for. You'll see many finishes that take advantage of the reflectivity of the metal substrate and are layered with printed texture. All can be customized in color, gloss and scale to meet your specific needs.

 

Mechanical Finishes

 

 

Mechanical finishes are surfaces in which the surface of the metal is abraded.  Standard options are brush, spin and engine turn.  The surfaces play with light creating depth and movement.  A mask is used to apply the finishes selectively to metal.  This allows for endless combinations of mechanical finishes and bright aluminum which can be further enhanced with color and texture.

Technical Finishes

 

 

Technical finishes combine precise geometric shapes into simple and complex patterns for an endless array of options. High contrast or tone on tone looks work well with this group of finishes. Most take advantage of the metal substrate allowing the reflective surface to show though. In addition, they often use printed texture to add visual and tactile interest.

Faux Finishes

 

 

Faux finishes include woodgrains, aged metal, carbon fiber and stone finishes. Our pattern library even includes fabric and semi-precious stones finishes. Aluminum is a versatile substrate which can be used as the foundation to match virtually any surface. Movement and texture add to the realism of the finishes.

Organic Finishes

 

 

Organic finishes are a diverse category of patterns taking inspiration from nature, handcrafted surfaces and modern graphic effects.  Linear structures are popular as well as large scale graphic effects.  Random, imperfect and irregular details add interest to the surfaces which work well with the curves and openeings in complex and organic shapes used in today's designs.

Plastic Finishes

 

 

Surfaces in our library of aluminum finishes are also available to be interpreted onto plastic.  When integrated with back lighting or clear windows, you combine the functionality of plastic with the aesthetics of the finishes.
