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 non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.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.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
