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.

	Hand-beaten	Brushed & satin	Cast & relief	Distressed
Family	Textured	Polished	Cast	Patinated
How it looks	Formed entirely by hand.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	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	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
