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 looksSofter and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.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.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.A fine unidirectional grain.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.No two panels are the same, which is the point.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
