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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

How it looksRaised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.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.Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowingThe pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.
Looking after itDust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
