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.

| Family | Textured | Textured | Polished | Textured |
| How it looks | Formed entirely by hand. | 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. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. | A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights. |
| Metals | Brass, copper | Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel | All metals | Brass, copper, bronze |
| 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. | Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors. | Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face. | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. |
| Looking after it | As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive. | Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. |
