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.

| Family | Textured | Polished | Textured | Cast |
| How it looks | Formed entirely by hand. | Fully reflective. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished. |
| Metals | Brass, copper | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass | Brass, bronze, aluminium |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | 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. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling. |
| Looking after it | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face. |
