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. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | 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. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, stainless steel | All metals |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | 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. | Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face. |
| Looking after it | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. |
