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	Vibration	Ombre	Hand-beaten
Family	Polished	Polished	Coated	Textured
How it looks	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	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.	Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowing	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	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.	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.
Looking after it	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
