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 non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Surfaces worked or grown to a tactile grain — crystalline, mottled, stony, or crazed like old glaze — that catches side light and changes as the light moves.

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.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a soft cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
