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. | Fully reflective. | A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, stainless steel | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, mild steel | All metals |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. | No two panels are the same, which is the point. | 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. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. | Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. |
