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 | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. | 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. | Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on. | 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. |

| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors |
| Worth knowing | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights. | A living finish. | No two panels are the same, which is the point. |
| Looking after it | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Dust only, or a barely damp cloth. | Nothing abrasive, ever. | Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth. |
