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.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after it	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
