Compare finishes side by side

Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.

How it looks	Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.	A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.

Worth knowing	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
