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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

	Special effects	Distressed	Hand-beaten	Vibration
Family	Textured	Patinated	Textured	Polished
How it looks	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.	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.	Formed entirely by hand.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Brass, copper, mild steel	Brass, copper	Stainless steel, brass

Worth knowing	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.	No two panels are the same, which is the point.	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.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.
