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.A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.

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.No two panels are the same, which is the point.A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
