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.

Swipe sideways to see every finish.

How it looksA non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.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.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.

Worth knowingHard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.The dents hold dust and, outside, water.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.A living finish.
Looking after itWipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.Wipe with a soft damp cloth.Nothing abrasive, ever.
