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.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	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.

Worth knowing	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
