| How it looks | Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork. | Formed entirely by hand. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | A fine unidirectional grain. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, stainless steel | Brass, copper | Stainless steel, brass | Stainless steel, brass, aluminium |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. | 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. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance. |
| Looking after it | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. |
