How it looksA worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.A fine unidirectional grain.Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.

Worth knowingThe dents hold dust and, outside, water.The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after itA soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
