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 | Polished | Patinated | Textured |
| How it looks | Fully reflective. | 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. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. |
| Metals | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, mild steel | Stainless steel, brass |
| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. | No two panels are the same, which is the point. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. |
| Looking after it | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. | Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. |
