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.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
