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.

	Patina	Brushed & satin	Special texture	Hairline
Family	Patinated	Polished	Textured	Polished
How it looks	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	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.	A fine unidirectional grain.
Metals	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	All metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	A living finish.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.
Looking after it	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
