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. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | Brass, gold, champagne, rose gold, copper, bronze, gun metal, black nickel and antique brass tones, plus oxidised and custom colour coatings — the way to put a warm metal’s colour on stainless steel. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. |

| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | No two panels are the same, which is the point. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | A scratch through a PVD or coated surface is through the colour, and it cannot be touched up invisibly — the panel is refinished or replaced. | 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. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Mild soap and water, soft cloth, nothing abrasive and no strong cleaners — the colour is a thin layer and is kept by not attacking it. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. |
