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 fine unidirectional grain.	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.

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.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	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.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
