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.	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.	Brass, gold, champagne, rose gold, copper, bronze, gun metal, black nickel and antique brass tones, plus oxidised and custom colour coatings — the way to put a warm metal’s colour on stainless steel.	Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber.

Worth knowing	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	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 scratch through a PVD or coated surface is through the colour, and it cannot be touched up invisibly — the panel is refinished or replaced.	Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face.
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.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Mild soap and water, soft cloth, nothing abrasive and no strong cleaners — the colour is a thin layer and is kept by not attacking it.	Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth.
