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.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.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.Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.

Worth knowingA living finish.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.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.Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.
Looking after itNothing abrasive, ever.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.Mild detergent and a soft cloth.
