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 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 worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. |
| Metals | Copper, brass, bronze, zinc | Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, bronze | Brass, copper, bronze |
| 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. | The dents hold dust and, outside, water. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. |
| 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. | A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. |
