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.Fully reflective.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.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.

Worth knowingA living finish.Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
