How it looks	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	Fully reflective.	A fine unidirectional grain.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.
Metals	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, stainless steel
Where it suits	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	A living finish.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.
Looking after it	Nothing abrasive, ever.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.
