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.	Fully reflective.	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	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	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	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	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.
