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.

	Mirror	Ombre	Vibration	Brushed & satin
Family	Polished	Coated	Polished	Polished
How it looks	Fully reflective.	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 non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass	All metals
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	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.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
