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 looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	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.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.

Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	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.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	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.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	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.
