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 worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.

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.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.A living finish.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Nothing abrasive, ever.
