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.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass
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.	A living finish.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
