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	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	All metals	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass

Worth knowing	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	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	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.
