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.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.
Metals	Brass, copper, stainless steel, mild steel	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze	All metals
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.	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.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
Looking after it	Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.	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.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
