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	Smoky effect
Family	Textured	Polished	Textured	Patinated
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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.
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
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.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
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.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
