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.

How it looksBrushed 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.Formed entirely by hand.Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically.Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.

Worth knowingThe 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, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step.Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after itWipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Mild detergent and a soft cloth.Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
