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	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	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.
Metals	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Brass, copper, stainless steel	All metals	Stainless steel, brass

Worth knowing	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	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.
Looking after it	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears 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.
