Williams Ironmongery Unveils FSB Pure Aluminium: A Refined Step Toward Sustainability
FSB latest finish PURE RAW Aluminium. Stripped back to its essential character, this new surface embodies our commitment to sustainable design and timeless aesthetics. FSB are proud to introduce Pure Aluminium across select lines in our architectural hardware range.
By intentionally forgoing the final processing stages—no polishing, no anodising, no powder coating—Pure Aluminium reveals a surface defined by natural texture and quiet elegance. The result is achieved through a meticulous slide-grinding technique using ceramic media. Over hours of careful tumbling, the surface develops a distinctive, subtly varied finish—each piece entirely unique.
Pure Aluminium complements contemporary architectural materials such as exposed concrete, untreated timber, and minimalist interiors. Its soft matte sheen and gently textured surface invite touch, growing richer and more expressive with age. Without a sealed coating, areas of frequent contact develop a living patina—an evolving visual story appreciated by discerning architects and designers.
Lightweight, responsive to ambient temperatures, and surprisingly warm to the touch, aluminium is already a favourite in design-led environments. With Pure Aluminium, it elevate its tactile qualities while offering a finish that resists abrasion and wears gracefully.
Environmentally, Pure Aluminium sets a new standard. Skipping traditional finishing methods significantly reduces water and energy usage, and eliminates dust and chemical emissions. The energy savings alone are striking—up to 37% less than our standard anodised finishes. Furthermore, our aluminium is sourced with sustainability in mind, carrying a carbon footprint of just 4 kg CO₂/kg—only a quarter of the global average—and is fully recyclable, without degradation of quality.
Pure Aluminium is now available in select collections, including our celebrated W120 series and the modernist-inspired W90 line—each a study in restraint and enduring design. As always, we’re guided by the belief that less isn’t less—it’s more refined.
