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.

	Brushed & satin	Smoky effect	Distressed	Embossed
Family	Polished	Patinated	Patinated	Textured
How it looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	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.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
