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	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.	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.	Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork.

Worth knowing	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.	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.	The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat.
Looking after it	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it.
