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.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 non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.

Where it suitsIndoorsIndoorsIndoors and outdoorsIndoors
Worth knowingShows 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.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after itA 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.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
