Durable Anodised
Finishes for Aluminium

Barley Chalu prides itself on excellent finishing quality, attention to detail and its determination to provide its customers with the ‘best in market’ products.

Our high standards are achieved through compliance and strict adherence to our testing and control procedures in operation throughout the business.

Anodising uses the unique nature of aluminium as its surface which can be converted into aluminium oxide; a natural material so tough it is often used as an abrasive. It has the benefits of being easy to maintain (can be cleaned with water and mild detergents to restore is original lustre), it is UV stable and will not peel or flake, protects the base metal to offer a deeper, richer appearance and offers a wide range of architectural finishes.
