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	Ombre	Cast & relief	Smoky effect
Family	Textured	Coated	Cast	Patinated
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.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
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 gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
