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.

	Distressed	Special texture	Smoky effect	Brushed & satin
Family	Patinated	Textured	Patinated	Polished
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.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.	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, stainless steel, mild steel	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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	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 with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
