If you are wondering what the differences are in Permaloc edging finishes:

MILL FINISH: Mill finish is the natural finish that aluminum extrusions have after being produced at the mill. It is “as is” with no external mechanical or chemical finishing. Mill Finish may have small spots of oxidation or die marks running the length of the edging. These imperfections create a unique, naturally beautiful product.

DURAFLEX PAINT: Our DuraFlex coating is applied to the edging and placed in an oven to cure. DuraFlex offers a superior finish while adding many performance properties such as excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, heat, impact, abrasion, UV rays and extreme weather conditions. DuraFlex provides a smooth, even covering that allows for a refined finish.

BLACK ANODIZED: Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Anodized is our most durable finish, and the introduction of a black dye provides for a beautiful, even finish.
