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	Textured	Textured
How it looks	Fully reflective.	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.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass

Worth knowing	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.
Looking after it	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	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.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.
