Feature and benefits:

  • Lightweight: Renowned for it's lightweight properties, aluminium is about a third of the weight of steel, which makes it easier and cheaper to transport and install than most other metals.
  • Weathering: Aluminium is very resistant to corrosion. Corrosion does not affect aluminium due to it's protective oxide coating. Unlike copper, weather conditions don't influence aluminium.
  • Hidden fixings: Secret Fixing allows for an attractive contemporary finish.
  • Suitability: Aluminium is infinitely recyclable with no loss of quality. More than 55% of the world's primary aluminium is produced using hydroelectric power (no CO2 emissions and renewable).
  • Tested in accordance with ISO 12944-6 corrosivity category: C4 high.

Tested RAL finishes to meet the requirements for ISO 12944-6:2018, which gives a life expectancy until major maintenance of more than 25 years in a corrosivity category C4 environment: seafront, cyclic salt spray, UV, freezing and chlorine. You can also apply for 10-year project specific manufacturer warranty.


Consult RAL colour chart for details and insert requirement.

Anodized silver.

Guidance for specification option:

Anodizing is an electrochemical process which enhances the natural weathering resistance, as well as giving a much more consistent, aesthetic finish. Anodized finishes are A1 Fire Rated non-combustible.


Anodized finishes meet the requirements for ISO 12944-6:2018, which gives a life expectancy until major maintenance of more than 25 years in a corrosivity category C4 environment: seafront, cyclic salt spray, UV, freezing and chlorine.


The anodized process does not add anything to the metal, meaning that it remains 100% recyclable and 100% pure aluminium.

Wood finish powder coated.

Guidance for specification option:

VulcaLap® is available in 11 attractive WOOD finishes which achieve Reaction to fire classification: EN 13501.1-A2-s1,d0 – further finishes will be available soon. Each finish has a subtle variation during production which adds to the authenticity.


Vulcan WOOD finishes meet the requirements for ISO 12944-6:2018, which gives a life expectancy until major maintenance of more than 25 years in a corrosivity category C4 environment: seafront, cyclic salt spray, UV, freezing and chlorine. WOOD finishes have also undergone testing in Florida with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.


WOOD finishes are a suitable choice for those seeking to capture the warmth and character of real timber, but without the maintenance and colour change to exposed areas. Timber is a popular feature that gives a softening effect in modern architecture.
