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 worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Fully reflective.

Worth knowing	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	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.
Looking after it	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	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.
