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	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.

Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.
