At Aluminum Supply Company (ASCO), finish is never an afterthought — it’s a function of performance.
Whether you’re specifying anodized curtain wall extrusions, mirror-polished stainless, or custom Kynar-coated aluminum panels, we deliver finishes engineered for endurance, consistency, and architectural integrity.
ASCO partners with certified finishing processors throughout the Midwest to offer a complete range of treatments for aluminum, steel, stainless, and copper. Each finish meets or exceeds industry specifications — including AAMA 2605, AAMA 611, and MIL-A-8625 — and every order is tracked through documented quality control under ISO 9001:2015.
We don’t just sell metal. We finish it for the next fifty years.
Anodizing is the foundation of ASCO’s finishing expertise.
Our partner processors apply Type II sulfuric and Type III hard-coat anodizing for both architectural and industrial applications, producing coatings that enhance corrosion resistance, wear performance, and appearance.
Typical lead time: 10-15 business days
Anodizing done right isn’t a coating — it’s part of the metal itself.
For long-term color retention and UV durability, ASCO offers 70 % PVDF finishes (Kynar 500® / Hylar 5000®) through certified architectural coaters.
These fluoropolymer systems are the industry benchmark for exterior aluminum and steel components requiring fade-resistant, warrantied performance.
Typical lead time: 5–10 business days (custom 10–15 days)
Kynar finishes are the Detroit paint job of architecture — engineered to shine for decades.
Steel deserves more than a coat of paint.
ASCO provides hot-dip, electro-galvanized, and Galvalume® finishes to deliver multi-decade corrosion protection for structural and exposed steel elements.
Hot-dip protection — because rust has no place in a precision assembly.
Finish is texture. ASCO’s in-house and partner polishing teams produce consistent directional or radial grain patterns that emphasize the natural character of metal.
Every line in the grain tells the story of Detroit craftsmanship.
For applications demanding abrasion resistance and environmental toughness, ASCO partners with regional ISO-certified powder coating specialists experienced in large architectural components.
Panels up to 12′ × 5′ × 4′ — oversize components accommodated through partner network
It’s the Detroit tough-coat — built to take a beating and still look brand new.
ASCO’s finishing partners operate under the same quality system that governs our fabrication floor.
Each order receives full trace documentation: material certification, finish lot, and inspection record.
Every finish is checked, measured, and certified — because beauty without integrity doesn’t fly in this town.
