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	Polished	Patinated	Patinated
How it looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A fine unidirectional grain.	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.	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 and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.
Looking after it	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
