The Ombrae system primarily uses clear anodization as the panel finish. This treatment protects the aluminum from weathering and delicately etches its surface, creating a micro-texturing that softens and diffuses reflected light on each Ombrae OpticalTile™. The result is a uniform range of tones and extraordinary ambient lighting, with reflections that capture the colors of the sky and surrounding landscape.
Alternatively, powder coating offers a wider choice of colors. Ombrae Studios recommends low-gloss finishes to avoid specular reflections: darker tones, in particular, best enhance the rich dynamic range of the Ombrae system.
