Copper Anodize

Linetec offers its proprietary copper anodize finishing to architectural market-leaders.

This exclusive copper anodize finish offers our customers the look of rich, real copper without such shortcomings as salt run-off stains, galvanic corrosion and patina.

Linetec's new copper anodize process is a unique, consistent and repeatable process. It involves using actual copper to color the aluminum while isolating the copper in the coating. This process makes the copper color very stable and consistent compared to other copper anodize finishes. The rich copper color that is observed is actually copper that will not patina and will remain stable to provide many years of service.

This technology was developed in the mid 90’s; material has been on the south Florida test fence for over 8 years with no significant change to color or gloss. The material meets all AAMA-611 Class I specifications and weathering tests.
