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.

How it looksGreen, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.Formed entirely by hand.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.

Worth knowingA living finish.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
