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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

How it looksFormed entirely by hand.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.Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Worth knowingNo two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.No two panels are the same, which is the point.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after itAs for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
