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.
Swipe sideways to see every finish.

| How it looks | A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights. | A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades. | A fine unidirectional grain. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, mild steel | Stainless steel, brass, aluminium |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | No two panels are the same, which is the point. | A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance. |
| Looking after it | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. | Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth. | Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. |
