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	Bronze
Character	Soft, ductile, and never quite finished changing.	Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying.
How it looks	Bright pink-orange when new, moving through browns to deep near-black, or driven deliberately to green and blue verdigris.	Deep brown-gold through to near-black, matt or satin more often than bright.
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	Staircase cladding and balustrades Lift surrounds and lobby panelling Large-format wall cladding Feature doors and entrance frames Fireplace surrounds and hearth details
Outdoors	One of the classic exterior metals.	Used externally on cladding and soffits.
Finishes	11: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, hand-beaten, embossed, special texture, special effects, antique…	7: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, cast & relief, antique, patina, smoky effect
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.	Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep.
