How it looks	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.

Worth knowing	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	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.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.
