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.

	Mirror	Cast & relief	Hairline	Distressed
Family	Polished	Cast	Polished	Patinated
How it looks	Fully reflective.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, mild steel
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
