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.	Fully reflective.	A fine unidirectional grain.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze

Worth knowing	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
