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. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. | Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished. | Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork. |
| Metals | Stainless steel, brass | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Brass, bronze, aluminium | Brass, copper, stainless steel |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| 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 living finish. | A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling. | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. |
| Looking after it | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. |
