Compare metals side by side

Choose two to four metals. The finish you see is decided on a physical sample, so ask for one before you decide.

Swipe sideways to see every metal.

	Aluminium	Copper	Mild Steel	Brass
Character	Light, dimensionally stable, and quietly practical.	Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing.	Strong, direct, unapologetically structural.	Warm, generous, and alive to the touch.
How it looks	Naturally light grey and matt.	Bright pink-orange when new, moving through browns to deep near-black, or driven deliberately to green and blue verdigris.	Matt grey raw; most often blackened, painted or powder-coated.	Ranges from a bright polished yellow through brushed and satin to deep antique and near-black.
Where we use it	Baffle, fin and open-cell ceilings Large-format facade and soffit panels Louvre systems and sun screens Lightweight partitions and frames Signage trays and built-up letters	Facade cladding and shingle systems Hand-beaten sculpture and wall art Ceiling baffles and coves Feature doors and entrance panels Boundary wall and exterior treatments	Structural frames, canopies and portals Blackened steel screens and partitions Steel-and-glass doors and windows Balustrades and staircase structure Gates and boundary treatments	Wall cladding, panelling and inlays Screens, partitions and laser-cut patterns Console, coffee and dining tables Shower cubicles, mirror frames and bathroom details Balustrades, handrails and ornamental panels
Outdoors	Very well suited to external use, which is a large part of why it is specified for facades and louvres.	One of the classic exterior metals.	Used externally throughout, always with a coating system appropriate to the exposure.	Suitable externally where a living, weathering surface is intended, or with a protective coating where it is not.
Finishes	4: hairline, brushed & satin, cast & relief, ombre	11: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, special texture, special effects, antique…	3: brushed & satin, special texture, distressed	16: mirror, hairline, brushed & satin, vibration, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, etched…
In short	The metal that solves problems of weight and span.	The most workable metal on the floor and the most unpredictable in service — which is exactly why it is used where character matters more than uniformity.	The metal behind the metal.	The metal most often asked for by name.
