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.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.

Worth knowingSmall repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.A living finish.A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Nothing abrasive, ever.A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
