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. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | 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. |

| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors |
| Worth knowing | A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | No two panels are the same, which is the point. |
| Looking after it | Dust only, or a barely damp cloth. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth. |
