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.

How it looksFully reflective.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.

Worth knowingShows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.A living finish.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after itA soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Nothing abrasive, ever.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
