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.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.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.Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.

Where it suitsIndoorsIndoors and outdoorsIndoorsIndoors and outdoors
Worth knowingShows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.
Looking after itA soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.Mild detergent and a soft cloth.
