Aluminium Finish Options

Aluminium sheet finishes are available for projects across interior, architectural, and industrial settings. Our curated range of aluminium sheet finishes includes mirror-polished aluminium for a high-gloss reflective surface, stucco aluminium for textured durability, and patina checker plates for a rugged, industrial look.
Each finish enhances both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of aluminium, supporting bespoke designs and commercial fabrication.

A Guide for Designers – Finishes on Aluminium

When specifying aluminium for interiors or architectural projects, consider how surface finish affects light reflection, texture, and maintenance. Polished surfaces enhance brightness, while brushed or stucco finishes diffuse light for a softer appearance.

Individual Aluminium Finishes

No.1 – Natural Aluminium Checker Plate

A natural aluminium checker plate with a bright, reflective finish and a raised tread pattern for added grip. This durable and corrosion-resistant material is commonly used for flooring, wall panels, vehicle linings, and industrial applications.

No.2 – Patina Checker with Highlights

A high-contrast patina-aged aluminium checker plate with deepened patterns, emphasising the rugged industrial look. This finish is perfect for feature walls, furniture, and decorative applications where bold textures are desired.

No.3 – Patina Checker with Accents

A subtly aged aluminium checker plate with a refined patina effect, giving it a muted industrial aesthetic. The light patina adds depth and character, making it ideal for rustic interiors, bespoke furniture, and creative metalwork applications.

No.4 – Aluminium Stucco Natural

A natural stucco aluminium sheet featuring an embossed texture that diffuses light while providing durability. This lightweight, corrosion-resistant finish is commonly used in cladding, insulation, and decorative panels, offering both practicality and aesthetics. This stucco aluminium is also an excellent surface for painting.

No.5 – Mirror Polished Aluminium

A highly reflective mirror-polished aluminium sheet with a smooth surface. Although smooth, the mirror finish retains a faint linear grain from the polishing process. This premium finish is perfect for luxury interiors, signage, commercial displays, and architectural applications, offering a modern, sleek aesthetic with exceptional reflectivity.

No.6 – Brushed Aluminium

A clean, contemporary finish featuring a fine, uniform grain created by brushing the surface with 120-grit abrasives. Brushed aluminium sheet offers a soft, satin sheen that reduces glare while maintaining a professional metallic look. Widely used for interior cladding, signage, furniture, and decorative panels where a refined yet understated appearance is desired. Durable, versatile, and easy to maintain, brushed aluminium provides an excellent balance of aesthetics and practicality.

No.7 – Mill Finish Aluminium

A raw, uncoated aluminium sheet supplied directly from the rolling mill, featuring a natural matte surface and subtle grain marks. Mill finish aluminium retains the metal’s pure, industrial character, making it ideal for further fabrication, painting, powder coating, or polishing. Its untreated surface is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to work with — perfect for prototypes, general sheet metalwork, and creative design projects.

No.8 – Perforated Aluminium

Perforated aluminium sheet features precision-punched round holes arranged in a staggered T pattern, combining strength, lightness, and modern appeal. We stock sheets with 3mm and 5mm round holes, and many other diameters can be supplied on request. For bespoke designs, our partner company MS Laser Services Ltd can laser-cut any hole size, shape, or pattern to order — ideal for custom ventilation grilles, decorative panels, and branded architectural features. Perforated aluminium offers excellent airflow and visual texture, making it a versatile finish for both functional and decorative applications.

What are the most popular aluminium sheet finishes?

The most popular aluminium sheet finishes include mirror-polished, brushed, stucco, and checker plate styles.
Mirror-polished aluminium offers a bright, reflective appearance, while brushed and stucco finishes provide softer, more textured surfaces.
Checker plate remains the go-to option for industrial, decorative, and slip-resistant applications.

Can aluminium sheet finishes be used outdoors?

Yes. Most aluminium finishes are corrosion-resistant and suitable for exterior use, especially mirror-polished and checker plate aluminium.
For coastal or harsh environments, additional protective coatings or anodising may be recommended to extend lifespan.

Can aluminium sheet finishes be customised or laser cut?

Absolutely. All our aluminium sheet finishes can be guillotine-trimmed or precision laser cut to your design.
We also offer bespoke patina and burnished effects for creative or architectural projects.
