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 | Polished | Textured |
| How it looks | Fully reflective. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light. | 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. |
| Metals | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass | Stainless steel, brass | Brass, copper, stainless steel, 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. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels. | Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors. |
| 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. | Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface. | Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed. |
