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.	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.	Formed entirely by hand.	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.

Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.	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.
Looking after it	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
