Brushed Aluminum Nameplates
Brushed-finish aluminum nameplates with a consistent directional grain, available in silver, black, or brushed-then-anodized combinations.
Description
A brushed surface hides fingerprints and light scratches better than a mirror or painted finish. The fine, directional grain runs at Ra 0.4 to 1.2 micron, giving a consistent look across a batch. Aluminum takes this finish well, in natural silver, black, or a brushed-then-anodized combination.
Applications
- Brand nameplates for a consistent product line
- Equipment plates where a mirror finish would glare
- Plates paired with printed or engraved logos
- Consumer-facing panels needing a clean, matte look
Material and finish choices
Brushed silver, black, or a brushed-and-anodized combination. Etching or printing over the brushed surface adds text and logos without dulling the grain. The same brushed stock also takes a light anodized layer if you want a color option. Buyers often pick brushed silver for a clean, neutral look on the shop floor.
