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	Polished	Patinated
How it looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A fine unidirectional grain.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	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	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	All metals	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.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	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.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.
