Anodising is the finishing technique that has stood the test of time, with its credentials well supported by history. Below are a number of examples of external anodising applications that are exposed to varying environments, but the finish retains its corrosive inhibiting qualities.

Centre Point Tower Sydney
Constructed in 1981, the external structure has GOLD ANODISING AA25 (25 microns).
Crown Casino Melbourne
The casino has a number of different anodised finished externally. GOLD ANODISING, DARK BRONZE and also CLEAR ANODISING, all to AA25 (25 micron thickness).
Liberty Towers
Residential apartments in Melbourne, 2002. SILVER ANODISING AA15 (15 micron).
Lucinda Bulk Sugar Terminal, Queensland
The external coating of the terminal roof was anodised, to protect it from the harsh environment. The conveyor, which stretches 5.76 km over the sea, is anodised to AA20 (20 microns).
Nauru House, Melbourne
Perma colour bronze AA 25 (25 micron) 1977. Nauru House was found to have "concrete cancer" (where the steel inside the concrete rusts, then expands and cracks the concrete off it). The building was re-clad in the early 1990's. However, at the time this was done, there was no need to replace the anodised aluminium windows - they had stood the test of time.
