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	Coated	Cast	Textured	Polished
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.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.

Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
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.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
