Finishes
Duraluxe Aluminium Finishes
From glass-like gloss to glow-in-the-dark, every Duraluxe panel is coated for vivid, long-lasting sublimation prints. Explore the finishes and find the perfect surface for your work.
Each finish changes how your image looks, feels and performs — colour pop, texture, scratch resistance and where it can be used indoors or out. Here's how they compare.
Glossy
Maximum colour pop
A brilliant, high-shine surface that makes colours leap off the metal. Ideal for high-colour images, product shots and vibrant artwork.
Matte
All-round performer
Our go-to finish for balanced results. Renders vivid colours and muted tones alike with zero glare — perfect for galleries and photography.
Satin
Fine-texture semi-gloss
A subtle semi-gloss lustre with a fine texture that suits almost any job — from signage to fine-art photography — without harsh reflections.
Canvas
Textured & tough
A uniquely textured surface with the look of fine canvas and improved durability — a characterful, hard-wearing choice for wall art.
Ice Touch
Soft-touch, deep blacks
A velvety soft-touch surface with exceptionally deep blacks — the finish of choice for striking black-and-white photography.
Salt Lake
Dramatic canvas texture
A boldly textured, canvas-like surface for dramatic, tactile results — and our toughest coating, with best-in-class scratch resistance.
WallSky
Metallic sparkle
Reflective metallic particles embedded in the surface catch the light for a shimmering, premium sparkle — a real showpiece finish.
Glow in the Dark
Photo-luminescent
A photo-luminescent coating that charges in light and glows on the brighter areas of your image for up to 8 hours — pure wow factor.
