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	Hand-beaten	Hairline	Vibration
Family	Polished	Textured	Polished	Polished
How it looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Formed entirely by hand.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	All metals	Brass, copper	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
