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.	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.	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.

Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A living finish.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
