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.

	Smoky effect	Vibration	Hand-beaten	Brushed & satin
Family	Patinated	Polished	Textured	Polished
How it looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Formed entirely by hand.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.
Metals	Brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper	All metals
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	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.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
