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. | Formed entirely by hand. | A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, stainless steel | Brass, copper | Stainless steel, brass |
| Where it suits | Indoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors |
| 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, 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. | 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. |
