Aluminium Panels for Painting – Natural Finish

Description

Our aluminium painting panels provide a smooth, stable, and long-lasting surface for artists working with oils, acrylics, and mixed media. Favoured by professionals and hobbyists alike, these panels are cut from high-quality aluminium sheet to ensure a perfectly flat surface and precise edges. The clean, semi-bright finish is ready to be primed with gesso or specialist metal primers, offering a reliable foundation for both detailed brushwork and bold, textured techniques.

Finish Description – Natural Aluminium

The natural aluminium finish has a clean, semi-bright appearance that is ideal for artists who prefer to prepare their own surface. It can be left smooth for a slick ground or lightly abraded to create more tooth for paint adhesion. Aluminium is dimensionally stable, meaning it will not warp, swell, or crack, even in changing humidity levels. This makes it particularly suited to archival-quality work and large-format pieces where stability is essential.
