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. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | Formed entirely by hand. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. |
| Metals | All metals | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| 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, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match. | A living finish. |
| Looking after it | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Nothing abrasive, ever. |
