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.	Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.	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	Indoors
Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	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.	Mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
