How it looks	A fine unidirectional grain.	A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
