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. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, mild steel | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, bronze, aluminium |
| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | No two panels are the same, which is the point. | A living finish. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling. |
| Looking after it | Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. |
