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	Formed entirely by hand.	A fine unidirectional grain.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Fully reflective.
Metals	Brass, copper	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	All metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
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.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.
Looking after it	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.
