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.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
