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	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	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.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.

Worth knowing	A living finish.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after it	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
