All anodized finishes are provided within an industry range of color consistency and can vary slightly from item to item. Special order anodized colors are subject to specific quantity minimums by item. Anodizing is an electrochemical conversion process that deposits an oxide film on the aluminum profile. A natural oxidation process occurs on all bare aluminum, however, producing the oxidation process artificially through anodizing creates a thicker, harder, and more durable oxide film which is an extremely durable finish resistant to most forms of airborne corrosion.

Powder coating is an advanced method of applying finish to products. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high- quality, and attractive finish. Powder coating gives longest-lasting and most color-durable quality finishes available. Powder coated surfaces are more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and wearing than other finishes. Tamlyn powder coats in-house to match all major siding colors.
