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.

	Copper	Aluminium	Bronze	Mild Steel
Character	Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing.	Light, dimensionally stable, and quietly practical.	Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying.	Strong, direct, unapologetically structural.
How it looks	Bright pink-orange when new, moving through browns to deep near-black, or driven deliberately to green and blue verdigris.	Naturally light grey and matt.	Deep brown-gold through to near-black, matt or satin more often than bright.	Matt grey raw; most often blackened, painted or powder-coated.
Where we use it	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	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	Staircase cladding and balustrades Lift surrounds and lobby panelling Large-format wall cladding Feature doors and entrance frames Fireplace surrounds and hearth details	Structural frames, canopies and portals Blackened steel screens and partitions Steel-and-glass doors and windows Balustrades and staircase structure Gates and boundary treatments
Outdoors	One of the classic exterior metals.	Very well suited to external use, which is a large part of why it is specified for facades and louvres.	Used externally on cladding and soffits.	Used externally throughout, always with a coating system appropriate to the exposure.
Finishes	11: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, special texture, special effects, antique…	4: hairline, brushed & satin, cast & relief, ombre	7: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, cast & relief, antique, patina, smoky effect	3: brushed & satin, special texture, distressed
In short	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 that solves problems of weight and span.	Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep.	The metal behind the metal.
