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.

	Special texture	Cast & relief	Patina	Brushed & satin
Family	Textured	Cast	Patinated	Polished
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.	Deep three-dimensional panels and medallions cast from a pattern, then hand-finished.	Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Brass, bronze, aluminium	Copper, brass, bronze, zinc	All metals
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	A pattern has to be made before anything is cast, so a one-off medallion carries the cost of its tooling.	A living finish.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	A soft brush for the relief, a damp cloth for the face.	Nothing abrasive, ever.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
