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. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork. |

| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| 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. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. |
| 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. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. |
