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.Formed entirely by hand.Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.

Worth knowingA living finish.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.Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
