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. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | Fully reflective. |
| Metals | Stainless steel, brass, aluminium | Brass, copper, bronze | Stainless steel, brass | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze |

| 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. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled. |
| Looking after it | Wipe with a soft damp cloth. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently. |
