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	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 fine unidirectional grain.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.

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.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.
