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 looksDeep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.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.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.

Worth knowingA pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.No two panels are the same, which is the point.A living finish.
Looking after itA soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.Nothing abrasive, ever.
