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.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	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.	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.

Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors
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.	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.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
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.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
