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.

	Bronze	Aluminium
Character	Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying.	Light, dimensionally stable, and quietly practical.
How it looks	Deep brown-gold through to near-black, matt or satin more often than bright.	Naturally light grey and matt.
Where we use it	Staircase cladding and balustrades Lift surrounds and lobby panelling Large-format wall cladding Feature doors and entrance frames Fireplace surrounds and hearth details	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
Outdoors	Used externally on cladding and soffits.	Very well suited to external use, which is a large part of why it is specified for facades and louvres.
Finishes	7: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, cast & relief, antique, patina, smoky effect	5: hairline, brushed & satin, cast & relief, pvd & coatings, ombre
In short	Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep.	The metal that solves problems of weight and span.
