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	Patinated	Coated
How it looks	Fully reflective.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	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.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	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.
Looking after it	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
