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.

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.	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.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.

Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	A living finish.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
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.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
