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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

How it looksFormed entirely by hand.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.

Worth knowingNo 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 living finish.Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.
Looking after itAs for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Nothing abrasive, ever.Mild detergent and a soft cloth.Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.
