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.

Family	Textured	Patinated	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.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	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	Brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Brass, copper, bronze
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	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.	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	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.
