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.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.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.

Where it suitsIndoors and outdoorsIndoors and outdoorsIndoors and outdoorsIndoors
Worth knowingA living finish.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
