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	Hammered	Hairline	Ombre
Family	Textured	Textured	Polished	Coated
How it looks	Formed entirely by hand.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	A fine unidirectional grain.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.

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 dents hold dust and, outside, water.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.
Looking after it	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
