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	Cast & relief	Mirror	Vibration
Family	Polished	Cast	Polished	Polished
How it looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Fully reflective.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	All metals	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
