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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

	Patina	Cast & relief	Hammered	Distressed
Family	Patinated	Cast	Textured	Patinated
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.	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.	A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.
Metals	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, mild steel
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	A living finish.	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.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	Nothing abrasive, ever.	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.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
