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. | Brass, gold, champagne, rose gold, copper, bronze, gun metal, black nickel and antique brass tones, plus oxidised and custom colour coatings — the way to put a warm metal’s colour on stainless steel. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | Fully reflective. |

| Worth knowing | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. | A scratch through a PVD or coated surface is through the colour, and it cannot be touched up invisibly — the panel is refinished or replaced. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. |
| Looking after it | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. | Mild soap and water, soft cloth, nothing abrasive and no strong cleaners — the colour is a thin layer and is kept by not attacking it. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. |
