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 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. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, mild steel | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Stainless steel, brass |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | No two panels are the same, which is the point. | A living finish. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. |
| 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. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. |
