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.

| Family | Patinated | 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. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. |
| Metals | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Stainless steel, brass | All metals |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| Worth knowing | A living finish. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face. |
| Looking after it | Nothing abrasive, ever. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. |
