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.

	Brass	Copper
Character	Warm, generous, and alive to the touch.	Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing.
How it looks	Ranges from a bright polished yellow through brushed and satin to deep antique and near-black.	Bright pink-orange when new, moving through browns to deep near-black, or driven deliberately to green and blue verdigris.
Where we use it	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	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
Outdoors	Suitable externally where a living, weathering surface is intended, or with a protective coating where it is not.	One of the classic exterior metals.
Finishes	16: mirror, hairline, brushed & satin, vibration, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, etched…	11: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, special texture, special effects, antique…
In short	The metal most often asked for by name.	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.
