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	Hairline	Hammered	Smoky effect
Family	Polished	Polished	Textured	Patinated
How it looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.
Metals	All metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
