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.Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.

Where it suitsIndoors and outdoorsIndoorsIndoorsIndoors
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.Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
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.Lacquered, it is simply wiped.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
