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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Character | Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying. | Muted, matt, and comfortable being grey. | Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing. |
| How it looks | Deep brown-gold through to near-black, matt or satin more often than bright. | Soft matt grey, developing a subtle mottled surface over time. | Bright pink-orange when new, moving through browns to deep near-black, or driven deliberately to green and blue verdigris. |
| Where we use it |
|
|
|
| Outdoors | Used externally on cladding and soffits. | A traditional exterior cladding metal. | One of the classic exterior metals. |
| Finishes | 7: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, cast & relief, antique, patina, smoky effect | 2: brushed & satin, patina | 11: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, special texture, special effects, antique… |
| In short | Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep. | The quietest metal we work with. | 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. |
