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.

	Brushed & satin	Antique	Mirror	Distressed
Family	Polished	Patinated	Polished	Patinated
How it looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	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.	Fully reflective.	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	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
