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	A fine unidirectional grain.	Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	Stainless steel, brass
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	A living finish.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
