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.Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.Fully reflective.

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.Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.
Looking after itWipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Lacquered, it is simply wiped.A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.
