Aluminum
is available in a large selection of shapes and forms. Because it is an
extruded material the bars and shapes all have very tightly controlled
tolerances, whether they be squared off or rounded off. It is in
general a very high quality product. It is soft, however. It also
requires a coating, since contact with one's hands will rub a black
sooty oxide off of it.
It can be readily welded, ground, drilled, formed,
polished, and is in every way an excellent material to work with.
Because it requires a finish, it is usually painted. We have
occasionally coated it with a clear coat.

This is an aluminum stair railing in progress. It eventually received a final colored bake coated finish.

In this photo the metal and glass frame in the foreground is aluminum
with a clear bake coated finish on it, as is the door in the
background. The table in between is stainless steel and corian.
