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.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors
Worth knowing	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.
