Matt finish

An overview of projects, products and exclusive articles about matt finish

Project • By AlumetOffices

oxford street 334

For 334 Oxford Street, anodized aluminium was used to create a façade with depth, rhythm and warmth. The building is a repurposed mixed-use development in the heart of London, where much of the existing structure was retained to reduce embodied carbon while creating a renewed and energy-efficient exterior. Alex Upton Photography Alex Upton Photography Alex Upton Photography What makes the façade especially interesting is the number of anodized colours used. Instead of working with one or two aluminium tones, the design repeats a broad palette across the building. This creates more variation and colour depth, while still keeping a clear architectural rhythm. The colours include AluRed 01, AluRed 02, AluRed 03, A... More

THIS Amsterdam

Designed by Powerhouse Company, THIS. Amsterdam forms a mixed-use ensemble of offices and residential buildings in Buiksloterham, directly overlooking the IJ. The project combines urban density with open water views and a carefully designed green landscape, creating a new, sustainable district within the city. Bart van Hoek Bart van Hoek Bart van Hoek For the façade, anodized aluminium in AluCopper 03 with a matt etched finish was selected. The deep copper tone introduces warmth and character to the contemporary volumes, while the etched surface softens reflections and enhances material depth. As daylight changes, the façade subtly shifts in nuance, reinforcing the building’s dynamic relationship with sky... More

American Walnut Faded Ultramatt Poly

Pre-finished by hand, our Walnut has a pure and natural look and feel. The Walnut is bleached with our custom lye, then finished with hard-wearing ultramatt lacquer.

American Walnut Megève Bronze Hardwax

Pre-finished by hand with our Megève effect, the Walnut surface becomes denser and harder and reveals a deeply textured brown tone with a sophisticated and subtle bronze grain accent. This finish works particularly well in wide planks and parquet patterns for floors or walls. Real bronze metal inlays would be a beautiful finishing touch. More

American White Oak Faded Ultramatt Poly

Pre-finished by hand, this Oak has a pure and natural look and feel. We bleach it with our own custom lye, which gives the patina long-lasting protection against yellowing. This finish works well on both uniform and more rustic Oak patterns for floor and wall cladding.  More

Product • By Ebony and CoAmerican Walnut Saltwashed Extramatt Poly

American Walnut Saltwashed Extramatt Poly

Our salt-wash process bleaches out the dark colour of the wood, making it look like unfinished Walnut that has been exposed to intense sunlight for many years. After bleaching the wood further with lye we coat with hard-wearing lacquer. This Walnut gets an opulent refined patina, which looks great on fine graded narrower planks and parquet patterns. Some sapwood and small knots can look stunning, but also think rift and quarter grain selections for a spa or a yacht. More
