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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Formed entirely by hand.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Brass, copper
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	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.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
