FAQ

  • Q Is polished aluminum suitable for premium design projects?

    A Yes.
  • Q Why choose polished aluminum instead of coated aluminum?

    A Polished aluminum offers a natural metallic appearance without paint or coatings, ideal for designs that emphasize authenticity and simplicity.
  • Q Can surface defects be tolerated on polished aluminum?

    A Polished finishes are appearance-critical, so surface quality requirements should be clearly defined before ordering.
  • Q Is polished aluminum suitable for food-related applications?

    A Yes.
  • Q Can polished aluminum be anodized or coated later?

    A Yes.
  • Q How does polished aluminum compare to stainless steel?

    A
    Polished aluminum is much lighter than stainless steel,it is easier to fabricate.Stainless steel offers higher hardness but higher weight and cost.
  • Q Does polished aluminum scratch easily?

    A Polished aluminum is visually sensitive to scratches.
  • Q Is polished aluminum suitable for exterior applications?

    A Yes, but it depends on the environment. 
  • Q What aluminum alloys are commonly used for polished sheets?

    A Alloy 1050,1060,1100,3003,5052.
  • Q How is polished aluminum different from mirror aluminum?

    A Polished aluminum has a smooth, glossy surface but is less reflective than mirror aluminum. Mirror aluminum undergoes additional polishing or chemical treatments to achieve maximum reflectivity.
  • Q What is polished aluminum sheet?

    A Polished aluminum sheet is a type of aluminum sheet that undergoes mechanical polishing (or chemical processes) to achieve a smooth, reflective, mirror-like surface. It is also commonly referred to as "aluminum mirror sheet" or "mirror finish aluminum sheet."
  • Q Why choose anodized mirror aluminum over laminated mirror panels?

    A Because anodized mirror aluminum offers greater durability, no delamination risk, and longer service life, especially in demanding environments.
  • Q Can protective films be removed from anodized aluminum surface after installation?

    A Yes. Protective films are designed for easy removal without residue, provided removal is done within recommended time frames.
  • Q How does anodized mirror aluminum compare to stainless steel mirror?

    A Anodized mirror aluminum is much lighter than stainless steel .
  • Q Is anodized mirror aluminum fire-resistant?

    A Yes.
  • Q How is anodized mirror aluminum packaged for shipment?

    A
    Packaging the anodized mirror aluminum sheet includes:
    1.Protective film on mirror side,
    2.Interleaving paper,
    3.Moisture-proof wrapping,
    4.Reinforced pallets or crates.
  • Q Can the anodized mirror surface be color anodized?

    A Yes.
  • Q Can anodized mirror aluminum be cut, bent, or fabricated?

    A Yes, but fabrication must be controlled.
  • Q How scratch-resistant is anodized mirror aluminum?

    A Anodized mirror aluminum exhibits excellent scratch resistance​ due to the hard, dense aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) layer formed during the anodization process. This layer is integral to the aluminum substrate (not a applied coating), making it highly resistant to scratches, abrasion, and wear.
  • Q Is anodized mirror aluminum suitable for exterior use?

    A Yes.
