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	Embossed	Distressed	Hairline
Family	Textured	Textured	Patinated	Polished
How it looks	Formed entirely by hand.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	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.	A fine unidirectional grain.
Metals	Brass, copper	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Brass, copper, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium

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.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.
Looking after it	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
