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 looksSurfaces 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.Chemically aged and then selectively relieved, so highlights and recesses read differently — antique brass, oxidised bronze, darkened copper — with the character of a piece that has already had a life.Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.

Where it suitsIndoorsIndoorsIndoors and outdoorsIndoors
Worth knowingDeep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.A living finish: it will keep ageing, and the places people touch will develop their own highlights.The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after itDust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
