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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

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.Formed entirely by hand.A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.

Worth knowingDeep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.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.Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.A living finish.
Looking after itDust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.As for hammered: a soft brush, a damp cloth, nothing abrasive.Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Nothing abrasive, ever.
