Tips for choosing a finish
- Specify the finish together with the base material — some finishes only work on metal.
- Send a physical sample or Pantone code for colour matching.
- Ask for salt-spray testing if the product is used outdoors or near water.
- Keep finishes consistent across all hardware on one product — we can supply the full set.
