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.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

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.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
