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	Hairline	Special texture	Hammered
Family	Textured	Polished	Textured	Textured
How it looks	Formed entirely by hand.	A fine unidirectional grain.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.
Metals	Brass, copper	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
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.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
