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.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.

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.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
