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.	A fine unidirectional grain.	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.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.

Worth knowing	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.
Looking after it	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.
