Finish Palette

ControlBase brackets are manufactured from fibre reinforced engineering composites - materials selected for dimensional stability, surface hardness, and long-term performance in permanent installation environments.

Gallery Finish - Glass Fibre Reinforced Composite
RF transparent throughout. Thermally stable under normal operating conditions. Does not flex under interaction. Finished with a satin clearcoat for a consistent, architectural-grade surface.

• Arctic White - a neutral white. Sits cleanly in contemporary residential and commercial interiors.
• Luna Grey - a considered mid-grey. Sits alongside natural materials without competing.
• Obsidian Black - a deep, low-reflection black. Anchors the panel on any surface.

Core Finish - Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite
A denser material surface provides greater hardness, abrasion resistance, and resistance to chemical exposure - suited to high-wear environments and technical installations where surface durability is the priority. No clearcoat - the material texture is the finish. For demonstration applications or high-traffic professional installations, our Core palette provides an alternative material and finish character suited to environments where Gallery finishes may not be appropriate.

• Anthracite Black - a dark, matte surface. The material itself is the finish.
