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	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	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.

Worth knowing	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after it	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
