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.

Family	Patinated	Textured	Textured	Patinated
How it looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.	Formed entirely by hand.	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.
Metals	Brass, copper, bronze	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Brass, copper	Brass, copper, mild steel
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	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.	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.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
