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.Fully reflective.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.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.Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.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.A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
