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.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.

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 gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
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.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
