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.	Brushed swirls, directional grains and figured patterns worked into the sheet by hand and by machine — a finish that appears to move as you walk past it, because the grain catches light from one direction and not another.	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.	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.

Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	The pattern is set by the sheet, so the layout of panels is decided with the pattern — a swirl cut through by a joint reads as a mistake.	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.	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.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.
