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.Green, deep blue, algae, deep red, burnished, rustic, deep white and a range of blacks — colour grown in the metal, not painted on.A surface deliberately aged — mottled, darkened and worn back in places — so that new metal reads as if it has been in the building for decades.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.

Worth knowingHard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.A living finish.No two panels are the same, which is the point.Deep textures collect dirt and grease, so they belong away from kitchens, counters and the outdoors.
Looking after itWipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.Nothing abrasive, ever.Wax or a clear coat holds the effect; dust it, and wipe with a damp cloth.Dust with a soft brush and wipe; a deep grain holds what a flat surface would shed.
