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.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Stainless steel, brass	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze

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.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after it	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
