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 non-directional swirled grain that scatters light. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass | Stainless steel, brass | Brass, copper, stainless steel |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. |
| Looking after it | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. | Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. |
