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.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.
Metals	All metals	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors
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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
