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.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.

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.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
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.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
