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. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. | 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. |

| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors |
| Worth knowing | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. | Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face. | 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 | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. | Dust only, or a barely damp cloth. |
