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.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Formed entirely by hand.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Brass, copper	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.	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.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
