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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

How it looksSofter and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.A fine unidirectional grain.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.One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.

Worth knowingSmall 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.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
