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.Formed entirely by hand.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.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.No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after itAlong the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Nothing abrasive, ever.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
