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	Textured	Patinated	Polished
How it looks	A fine unidirectional grain.	Formed entirely by hand.	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.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper	Brass, copper, bronze	All metals
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	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.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
