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.

Family	Polished	Patinated	Patinated	Textured
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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, mild steel	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
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.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
