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	Polished	Textured	Coated	Polished
How it looks	Fully reflective.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.	A fine unidirectional grain.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.
Looking after it	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
