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	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.	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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Deep 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.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Dust only, or a barely damp cloth.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
