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.

How it looks	Brass, gold, champagne, rose gold, copper, bronze, gun metal, black nickel and antique brass tones, plus oxidised and custom colour coatings — the way to put a warm metal’s colour on stainless steel.	A fine unidirectional grain.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.

Worth knowing	A scratch through a PVD or coated surface is through the colour, and it cannot be touched up invisibly — the panel is refinished or replaced.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.
Looking after it	Mild soap and water, soft cloth, nothing abrasive and no strong cleaners — the colour is a thin layer and is kept by not attacking it.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
