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	Hairline	Vibration	Hand-beaten
Family	Textured	Polished	Polished	Textured
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.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Formed entirely by hand.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper
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 scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	No two panels are the same, and that is the reason to choose it — a sample approves a character and a range, not a match.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and 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.	As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.
