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.

	Zinc	Bronze	Stainless Steel
Character	Muted, matt, and comfortable being grey.	Dense, quiet, and expensive-looking without trying.	Cool, precise, structural.
How it looks	Soft matt grey, developing a subtle mottled surface over time.	Deep brown-gold through to near-black, matt or satin more often than bright.	From full mirror through vibration and hairline to a soft brushed matt.
Where we use it	Wall and facade cladding panels Decorative panelling and inlays Roof and soffit details Feature surfaces requiring a neutral metal	Staircase cladding and balustrades Lift surrounds and lobby panelling Large-format wall cladding Feature doors and entrance frames Fireplace surrounds and hearth details	Mirror-polished columns and feature surfaces Lobby, lift and high-traffic wall cladding Bar, reception and vanity counters Concealed structural frames and stiffeners Balustrade posts and glass channels
Outdoors	A traditional exterior cladding metal.	Used externally on cladding and soffits.	Widely used externally.
Finishes	2: brushed & satin, patina	7: mirror, brushed & satin, hammered, cast & relief, antique, patina, smoky effect	10: mirror, hairline, brushed & satin, vibration, embossed, etched, special texture, special effects…
In short	The quietest metal we work with.	Where brass is warm and copper is bright, bronze is deep.	The metal that holds a mirror polish and holds it in public.
