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	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	A fine unidirectional grain.	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.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

Worth knowing	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.	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.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after it	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	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.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
