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.

	Mirror	Patina	Distressed	Special effects
Family	Polished	Patinated	Patinated	Textured
How it looks	Fully reflective.	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	Brass, copper, mild steel	Brass, copper, stainless steel
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.	A living finish.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.
Looking after it	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.
