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	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.	Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.
Metals	Brass, copper, mild steel	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, bronze	All metals
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
