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. | A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light. | Brass, gold, champagne, rose gold, copper, bronze, gun metal, black nickel and antique brass tones, plus oxidised and custom colour coatings — the way to put a warm metal’s colour on stainless steel. |

| 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. | Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels. | A scratch through a PVD or coated surface is through the colour, and it cannot be touched up invisibly — the panel is refinished or replaced. |
| Looking after it | Wipe with a soft damp cloth. | Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface. | Mild soap and water, soft cloth, nothing abrasive and no strong cleaners — the colour is a thin layer and is kept by not attacking it. |
