The layers also give white aluminum window frames a characteristic solid appearance and prevent the sun’s surface colors from being faded. Interior glass surfaces are not covered with aluminum oxide; hence they can be finished as desired, such as having a special coating for improved resistance to smudging or fingerprints.
