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.Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.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.Formed entirely by hand.

Worth knowingA living finish.Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.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.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.Mild detergent and a soft cloth.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
